Ep947: Beyond Hammerland: FRIGHTMARE (1974)
This was almost another one of "those" episodes. Ian was frustrated and bored to tears by the first half of Pete Walker's 1974 thriller, Frightmare, but just after the mid-point...something amazing happened.
The 1974 thriller stars Sheila Keith and Rupert Davies as Dorothy and Edmund Yates--a loving couple in a relationship so committed, they wound up in a mental institution for brutally killing six people! Fifteen years later, their daughters, Jackie (Deborah Fairfax) and Debbie (Kim Butcher), must cope with a family legacy of bloodlust, which may just be hereditary!
What turned Ian around on this one, to the point where he now considers Frightmare to be one of the most shocking and satisfying horror films of all time? And just who is this Pete Walker guy? Watch as Ian falls in love and AC shares insights into one of his favorite directors!
