Strait Jacket
“WARNING! This picture vividly depicts AXE MURDERS!” Well, not all that vividly. Not as crappy as 13 Frightened Girls, but certainly one more step in director William Castle’s mid-sixties decline. Star Joan Crawford had Anne Helm fired as her daughter and replaced by Diane Baker, whose performance she undercut in the editing room. Our favorite moment is the kitchen scene with the six-pack of Pepsi so prominently displayed.
