Details

Summary

Mr. Fortune is planning a horror epic that will turn even Hitchcock pale. Mary, his slightly wacky aide, rents a house for the production, complete with cobwebs, banging shutters, a non-working phone, and an erratic electrical system. A dangerous criminal escapes from a nearby prison and hides in the old house. As the camera rolls, a murder scene is played in deadly earnest.
