157 The Screaming Skull ( 1958 )

This  independent  black  and  white  horror  is  a  bit  predictable  but  has  bags  of  atmosphere  and  a  pretty  exciting  climax.

Eric  Whitlock  ( John  Hudson ) remarries  after  the  accidental  death  of  his  first  wife  Marion.In  shades  of  Rebecca  he  brings  his  new  wife  Jenni  back  to  his  home  where  a  mentally-challenged  gardener  Micky  ( played  by  director  Alex  Nichol )  still  holds  a  torch  for  Marion. Soon  Jenni  is  plagued  by  things  that  go  bump  in  the  night  and  visions  of  a  skull.

Peggy  Webber  ( as  Jenni  Whitlock )

Sex : Jenni  strips  down  to  a  bra  and  underskirt. In  other  scenes  her  nipples  are  clearly  visible  through  her  night-dress

Death : Survives



Despite  her  tremendous  figure, Peggy  made  few  films. She  seems  to  have  been  too  busy  writing, directing  and  acting  in  radio  comedies.  She  founded  and  directed  the  California  Artists  Radio  Theatre  and  also  wrote  extensively  for  TV. She  is  now  91.
