"There's some talk  that this house is haunted."  Companion piece to "One Minute before Death" concerns the spirit of the dead Rebecca (Maray Ayres), who possesses Lisa (Wanda Hendrix).  Heavy-handed romantic fantasy's payoff is a dance with the dead lady which is meant to be lyrical and macabre, but is mainly just strange, almost campy.  We see the lady as, alternately, living and corpse-y.  Rebecca likes to do poltergeist things, and she cackles.  The nadir: the lovers gamboling in the woods.  Also starring Gisele MacKenzie, whose name I recall from early TV shows.😟
