Directed by William Conrad
Produced by William Conrad Productions
A playful mid-century horror-mystery that blends supernatural dread with magic-trick misdirection, built on the ambiguity between genuine haunting and elaborate illusion.
The daughter of a dead magician who accidentally killed his wife, her mother, while performing a guillotine trick must spend the night in his house in order to collect her inheritance. Is the house haunted or is it all magic?
