219 The Terror ( 1963 )

The  story  behind  how  this  film  got  made  is  more  entertaining  than  the  movie  itself. Roger  Corman  saw a  chance  to  shoot  another  film  before  the  sets  for  The  Haunted  Palace  and  The  Raven  were  taken  down  and  persuaded  Boris  Karloff  to  film  some  disconnected  scenes  in  a  couple  of  days. He  then  filled  out   the  story with  the  other  actors  available and  it   just  about hangs  together  and  produces  a truly  shocking  ending.

Jack  Nicholson  plays  Andre  a  lost  Napoleonic  soldier  who  encounters  a  beautiful  but  strange  girl  called  Helene. She  is  said  to  be  in  thrall  to  evil  Baron  Leppe  ( Karloff )  and  Andre  sets  out  to  liberate  her

Sandra  Knight  ( as  Helene / Ilsa )

Sex :  Awesome  cleavage

Death : She's  actually  been  dead  all  along  and  rots  on  the  spot  when  her  work  is  done.


Sandra  was  pregnant  with  Jack's  child  during  the  shooting  which  is  no  doubt  why  her  boobs  are   particularly  impressive  here.
