Nightmares come true in the house of Auntie Roo! Shelley Winters stars as the seemingly kind, mild-mannered widow who throws a lavish Christmas party for orphans each year at her stately mansion. But beneath her cracked surface lies a demented grande dame with dark secrets and disturbing motives for inviting children into her house. Mark Lester (Oliver!) and Chloe Franks (The House That Dripped Blood) star as siblings trying to escape their host’s grasp but it’s an over-the-top Winters who steals the show in Curtis Harrington’s chilly thriller.
