Macabre

Nurse Polly (Jacqueline Scott), with the nanny (Ellen Corby), takes a call which turns out to be about the possibly-missing young daughter of doctor Rod (William Prince), who returns from searching, then has trouble getting the story from her, in horror-monger William Castle’s Macabre, 1958.

Notorious horror impresario William Castle opens his first independent feature with his first gimmick, then grim exposition featuring Jim Backus as the police chief, Jonathan Kidd as the undertaker Ed, and William Prince as troubled Dr. Barrett, in Macabre, 1958.

Doctor Rod (William Prince) and nurse Polly (Jacqueline Scott) search for his daughter, thought buried alive, when they’re caught, then meet the father (Philip Tonge) of his late wife, who recalls his other daughter (Dorothy Morris), who was to be buried that night, Jim Backus the cop, in Macabre, 1958.
