Scared to Death
A thrilling mystery of a supernatural killer!
Directed by Christy Cabanne
Produced by Golden Gate Pictures
A mid-century horror-comedy mystery built on paranoia and theatrical strangeness, where a woman trapped in a sanatorium faces supernatural threats from a mysterious magician and his sinister dwarf companion.
A woman is married to the son of a doctor, the proprietor of a private sanatorium, where she is under unwilling treatment. Both the son and the doctor indicate they want the marriage dissolved. Arriving at the scene is a mysterious personage identified as the doctor's cousin who formerly was a stage magician in Europe. He is accompanied by a threatening dwarf.
