Synopsis: All's well when The Whitlocks return home from their honeymoon, until all signs point to the presence of another Whitlock's dead first wife! Is Mickey playing dumb, or does he know something that Eric Whitlock doesn't?
OK, for all you guys who saw this in NYC on WPiX's "Chiller Theatre" in The '60s and '70s, this is for you. I loved it and was scared by it as a kid, laughed at it as an adult. Oh yes, those nasty little robots from MST3K made it viewable all over again! That said ...
... all the prints I've seen are poor, and the lighting is consistently overexposed in many scenes ... must've been filmed on someone's wedding budget ... for three guests. Still, it should be restored.
Nobody wanted to act in this turkey, so the director played the retard Mickey the Gardener. He's the one who looks like "Clapton!"
Cheers: Has atmosphere. Good ghosts. Great for kids, older kids won't scare at all. Roll the Credits! That's David Crosby's father Floyd doing camera chores!
Caveats: Stiff, slow and predictable ending.
