I STILL love this film!

Warning: Spoilers
Where I don't expect todays audience,esp kids to find this scary or entertaining(they require more blood & gore & now nudity),this is still a great 50's horror flick that relies more on the psychological rather than on the explicit. I still remember having dreams of seeing that skull on my bedroom wall! Now I have just as more fun watching this again as I do "The House On Haunted Hill". The atmosphere & music is still very effective. And the acting is very good. Its wonderful to see william Hudson play another scheming husband only to finally get his comeuppance. The director of the film(forgot his name already) does the difficult job of both acting & directing. I'm never forget when I first saw the images of the grave site & that skull rolling across the lawn! For those who haven't seen it give it a chance! And watch some other 50's/early 60's horror flicks like "House On Haunted Hill" & "Horror Hotel" as a mini introduction of what you're in for!
