-Connie Stevens, Dean Jones, Ceaser Romero
Plot: Imdb
Duke Duquesne is a very eccentric magician, and owing to his lifestyle his two-year-old daughter, Cassie, is sent away to live with an aunt. After twenty years, news of her father's death brings her back to Los Angeles to attend his funeral. The day after her arrival, she is told he left a rather odd will. It specifies that she will inherit her father's estate on the condition that she stay in his creepy palatial mansion for seven nights in a row - alone.
Phantom's Review:
Enjoyable, atmospheric, but not very scary little mystery thriller. directed by William Conrad (Cannon, Nero Wolfe)the film feels like its trying to be a William Castle style film without William Castle.
Surprisingly good acting from a small picture. Very atmospheric and filled with Haunted House Gimmicks. Very much ,in same vein as the original "House On Haunted Hill"/ "Old Dark House". Surprise twist ending (that's not very surprising).
This is an enjoyable movie, if your not expecting much.
