Storyline

Rufus Sinclair was a cranky old millionaire with a terrible fear of being buried alive. After his apparent death, clauses in his will meant to prevent his being buried alive are violated by his uncaring family, and soon a masked figure begins prowling the family's Connecticut estate, slaughtering the family members one by one in a variety of separate, horrible ways. Written by Jeremy Lunt <durlinlunt@acadia.net>

Trivia

Filmed almost entirely on the estate of Gutzon Borglum (the man who carved the Presidents on Mount Rushmore). Exteriors were filmed on the grounds and interior sets were built in Borglum's sculpture studio. Del Tenney is married to actress Margot Hartman, whose father (at that time) owned the property.
