Let's Scare Jessica to Death

Let's Scare Jessica to Death

Who's in it: Zohra Lampert, Barton Heyman, Kevin O'Connor, Mariclare Costello

What's it about: After being released from mental hospital, Jessica(Lampert), her husband, Duncan(Heyman), and her friend, Woody(O'Connor), move into an old spooky house. Jessica had been treated for chrionic fright and seeing things. In the house, there's a young woman who has been camping out there. Her name is Emily(Costello). The men start to fall in love with Emily and they only think that whatever Jessica says is crazy. Jessica is sure that Emily is a vampiric ghost coming after her.

What I Think: This was actually a pretty scary movie. It was released in 1971 and I thought that it was going to be a crappy old movie. Sure the effects sucked and the voiceovers that were put in were crappy, but the story and setting itself was great. I did not like Lampert because she seemed so manly. I thought that she did well though. Not fond of Costello's character but I admire her acting. She did a wonderful job. The men weren't really part of the story except boy toys.
