Spooky!

This is not a good film, but it does have a certain ephemeral charm. I remember seeing it at a matinee in the late 60s or early 70s, and the title character really scared me! Don't knock yourself out looking for this film unless, like me, you like oddities, and not even particularly good ones at that.
