Scream, Pretty Peggy (1973 TV Movie)
7/10
Scared me silly when I was a kid
6 April 2007
Jeffrey Elliott (Ted Bessell) hires college student Peggy John (Sian Barbara Allen) to take care of his elderly mother (Bette Davis!) in their creepy old mansion. It also seems there's a deranged sister wandering around...and Peg starts getting glimpses of a person with long blonde hair and a white dress. Peg becomes curious and starts looking into the family history and things start to get strange...

Saw this only once on TV when I was about 11 or 12. I was scared out of my mind! The glimpses Peg got of the sister really creeped me out and the ending horrified me. I also remember Davis giving a restrained (for her) performance and given nothing to do. Still it was creepy, atmospheric and well-acted. Another great old made for TV movie that's impossible to see today. I give it a 7.
