Bela Lugosi (Plan 9 from Outer Space) stars in Scared to Death, a funny and freaky horror thriller. Notably Lugosi’s only appearance in a color film, Scared to Death begins encouragingly with a dead woman lying on a slab in the morgue, beginning to narrate the circumstances which lead to her death. This unwholesomely aberrant start grows into a mixture of hilarious intentional and unintentional comedy and creepy weirdness! Lugosi plays a kooky hypnotist with a dwarf companion – and they dress alike. Funky, creepy, and fun, Scared to Death is top notch popcorn fun. less
