    Where to Watch

A spoof of Gothic horror tales in which heirs battle over a man's estate. Stella Stevens, Roddy McDowall. Hester: Elsa Lanchester. Jocelyn: Shani Wallis. Evan: Farley Granger. Minister: Victor Buono. Governor: John McGiver. Douglas: Patric Knowles. Constable Hooks: Bernard Fox. Directed by Georg Fenady.

This dull-witted comedy stars Stevens as the mistress of a deceased nobleman who marries the stiff posthumously to inherit his fortune. While the dead man lies in state, a series of killings occur. The victims are playboy brother McDowall, flaky sister Lanchester, lawyers Granger and Knowles, handyman Farr, and widow Wallis (who performs the title song). The whole thing comes off like a cheap made-for-TV movie of the week.
