Robert Alda (Alan's dad) is engaged. However, despite this, he keeps dreaming of another woman--a woman he's never met. Later, when he wanders into a strange doll shop run by Neil Hamilton ("Commissioner Gordon" from the BATMAN television show), he sees a doll that looks just like the lady in his dreams. Later, when he finally meets her, she turns out to be a witch who worships with a strange devil cult! Alda, being under he spell, is pulled into this small group of freaks--freaks who believe in blood sacrifice for anyone who betrays them!
The basic plot outline for this film is actually very good despite this being a super-low budget picture. Because of this, I found myself hooked and interested in what happened in the film. Unfortunately, despite the good story idea and an excellent mood, the film failed to capitalize on this and ended on a bit of a fizzle. This is a film I'd love to see remade, as hashing out the script, providing better acting as well as an ending that isn't clichéd would result in an excellent film. The people who made this film had the basis for a good film but the film was just undone by ineptness. Worth seeing as a time-passer if you are rather patient with this style film.
By the way, this film came with the "Chilling Classics 50 Movie Pack"--a huge set of public domain films. Like most in the set, the print is pretty poor, though watchable.
