Frankie baby gets chopped in half
16 September 2003
Plus we're spared Frankie baby from singing a song for us. What a relief.

A Tigron UK import that AIP licensed out back in the early 70s. Of course it helps to have chief AIP stable mate Frankie Avalon star in it. I'm sure that pleased Nicholson & Arkoff et. al.

Frankie baby and his English pals get bored at a party so they go explore a 'haunted' house one of his friends knows about. When one of the group is slashed to death with a Gurka blade, the others cover it up by dumping the body somewhere so they won't have to get involved with the police.

When they go back a few weeks later to look for more clues, another one of them is stabbed to death and then the police acting on a tip, are about to swoop down on the house. But it's too late for Frankie baby because he gets the shaft, too. The culprit is one of the group but I won't say which one because that would give it all away.

It's actually not bad and since it looks like it was filmed in an actual run-down English house, it's got some good atmosphere to it.

Hey it's a long way from Southern California & the beach, now isn't it?
