After ending a 15-year retirement from films to do Brian DePalma's "Carrie" (in which she was Oscar-nominated), Piper Laurie inexplicably turned up the very next year in this Curtis Harrington-directed schlocker. Needless to say, she didn't net another nomination. It's an abhorrent concoction about an aging gangster's moll who runs a drive-in movie theater, and Laurie gives a flat, depressed performance. Turns out the gangster's ghost now haunts the drive-in, and he may responsible for possessing a young girl (Janit Baldwin, forced into imitating Linda Blair). Mixture of scares, satire, comedic elements and bloody violence makes for one cruddy movie. NO STARS from ****
