Director : William CastleProducer : William Castle
Screenwiter : Robert Bloch
Starring : Joan Crawford,Diane Baker,Leif Erickson,Howard St. John,John Anthony Hayes
One of William Castle and Joan Crawford's respective greats, this campy horror classic isn't just a showpiece for Crawford's maniacal performance, it's also genuinely scary. She's just out of the loonie bin after serving 20 years for murdering her husband and his lover (oops, the kid was watching). She returns home to live with her daughter (Diane Baker), and the body count swiftly resumes again. Harrowing, with a fun twist at the end.
