Cast includes Deborah Walley (many AIP Beach movies, believe this was her last film), Paul Carr (TV Star Trek, THE BAT PEOPLE), John Crawford (TV Star Trek, THE ENFORCER) and Marvin Kaplan (who did some writing for THE ADDAMS FAMILY). ***

That's one of the first "modern" horror films I ever saw on TV as a kid. It was pretty memorable. Showing the film was fairly odd for the time, where stations' horror shows usually stuck to American b/w horror classics, Hammer horror or Japanese Kaiju.
