EVIL SPIRITS is a fun, schlocky, madhouse of a movie starring the incredible Karen Black as Ella Purdy. Ella runs a boardinghouse in much the same way as Norman ran the Bates motel. Her tenents just can't seem to stay alive for long, leaving Ella with the chore of burying them and cashing their Social Security checks.
This movie is filled to bursting with oddball characters including a nonverbal girl who dances continually, a drunk, a medium, and Michael Berryman as a writer / peeping Tom. There are murders aplenty, as well as cannibalism, a seance, and the disembodied voice of Ella's late husband.
Watch for Arte Johnson as a Social Security operative, Yvette Vickers as a nosey neighbor, Robert Quarry as a doctor, and Hoke Howell as the mailman!
