An assortment of greedy heirs gather like vultures, a number of cars break down, a witch's curse, a threat from the grave, a mad strangler, the mysterious Cavinder Phantom, a gorilla (who else but Bob Burns as Kogar!), an escaped lunatic, and the doctor hunting him who may be crazy himself, and we are in for a wild and woolly night indeed. Starring Daniel Roebuck,Jennifer Blaire,Kevin Quinn,James Karen,Andy Parks,Jim Beaver,Fay Masterson and Kogar! WHO WILL SURVIVE...AND WHO WILL NOT SURVIVE QUITE AS WELL... |
