70's Scary Left Overs: "Two on a Guillotine" (1965) - Part 8






"Two on a Guillotine" (1965) - Part 8

This is a film I saw a kid back in the early 70's when it hit television. It entertained and frightened the heck out of me - it wasn't the guillotine though...it was the rabbit! :)

It is a gothic thriller. Moves a bit slow in the middle, but well worth it - the ednding has a great twist that will have you grasping onto your senses!

Duke Duquesne, is a very eccentric magician and due to his lifestyle his two-year-old daughter is sent away to live with an aunt (living there for the next twenty years). News of her father's death brings Cassie Duquesne back to Los Angeles to attend his funeral. The following day, she is told he left a rather odd will. 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.

Directed by William Conrad (Yes, from "Jake and The Fatman")

Starring Connie Stevens, Dean Jones, Cesar Romero, Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, Connie Gilchrist
