À propos de ce film

Twenty years ago, a little accident with a guillotine trick left magician Duke Duquesne's wife and on-stage assistant without a head...and their baby daughter Cassie without a mother. Now The Great Duquesne may have another trick up his sleeve. He dies, leaving Cassie a sizeable inheritance if she'll spend seven nights in his spooky mansion. With a fearless young reporter at her side, Cassie braves terrors that could be the work of evil spirits. Or are they illusions dreamed up by Cassie's dear, demented dad? Connie Stevens, Dean Jones (in his pre-The Love Bug days) and Cesar Romero star in a creepy horrorfest that offers fans scares, screams, a return of that guillotine and Max (Gone with the Wind) Steiner's penultimate score.

Notes et avis

This was one of my favorites growing up. A real treat and genuinely creepy in spots. Dated and wonderful and no special effects, just good old fashioned scares and worth every penny to rent or buy. Just enjoy a great black and white gem. And if you really want to be wowed? You'll Find Out, a great romp with Bela, Boris and Peter Lorre...Kay Keyser the bandleader wrote the screenplay under his real name. A genius. Also another dated gem but if you're a fan of mid century black and white diamonds in the rough, these two movies are a must see. Grab the popcorn!
