    Schooled...
    While recovering from a nervous breakdown, Peggy Heller (Judy Geeson) is stalked and attacked by a one-armed man. Not surprisingly, due to Peggy's mental state, no one believes her.

    After moving back in with her husband at a boy's school, Peggy meets the headmaster (Peter Cushing), who happens to have a very familiar disability! It's not long before Peggy is attacked again.

    FEAR IN THE NIGHT is a wicked little mystery-thriller from Hammer Studios that keeps the viewer guessing. Ms. Geeson is believable in her tormented role. Cushing is brilliant as usual. Joan Collins co-stars in one of the best roles she's ever played!...
