Notes:
The film is part of the psycho-biddy sub-genre (also known as Grande Dame Guignol, hagsploitation and hag horror) which features a formerly-glamorous older woman who has become mentally unbalanced and terrorises those around her. The genre was inaugurated in 1962 by the success of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and lasted until the mid-1970s.
