Summary
  • The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958): Baron Frankenstein is saved from the guillotine by his devoted dwarf Fritz, and when they move to Carlsbruck he becomes known as the celebrated Dr. Stein and begins his gruesome experiments, this time transplanting Fritz's brain into his latest creation, a normal healthy body
  • The Snorkel (1958): Paul Decker arranges the perfect murder of his wife. Lightly drugging her into unconsciousness, he then seals the room and fills it with gas appearing to be a suicide while he hides beneath the floorboards using a diving snorkel to breath air from the outside. But he didn't plan for his suspicious stepdaughter in this kill or be killed thriller!
  • Never take candy from a stranger (1960): A small town is terrorized by an elderly child molester luring young girls into his mansion with sweets, but no official will stop the perverse man because of his powerful family until it is too late
  • Maniac (1963): While vacationing in France, an American artist becomes romantically involved with an older woman, Eve, while also attracted to her teenage stepdaughter. Pulled between them, a plot is hatched to free Eve's husband from jail but Eve has a different plan in mind
  • Die! Die! My Darling! (1965): Young Pat Carroll goes to the home of her dead finance to meet his beloved mother. There, she discovers that she is not the loving mother she had anticipated, but rather a grieving psychopath who blames Pat for the death of her son
  • Creatures the World Forgot (1971): Set in the Stone Age, there is almost no dialogue. Focused on a tribe of cavemen, a pair of twin brothers become rivals for leadership of the tribe following the impact of a devastating earthquake
