Typical of busy character actors, Fiedler made his face (and voice) recognizable to millions. Fiedler knew he wanted to be an actor from his childhood days, when he had a full head of reddish-yellow hair. He made his first professional appearances onstage, branched out into live TV in New York and, then, during the 20 years he lived in Hollywood (1960-80), he turned up in many movies and an ever greater number of popular TV shows.

The concept and general narrative is simple and quite brilliant, kind of the missing link between Phantom of the Opera and Beetlejuice, but neither gothic nor supernatural. Sadly, the realization is little more than amateurish. The dialogue lacks polish to say the least, and most of the acting is terrible. Deserves an upgraded remake, but it would have to be by better makers.

One of the greatest concepts for a suspense/thriller that, when executed by made-for-tv 70s standards, is neither thrilling or suspenseful.

A diverting schlockfest.
