Scared to Death (Christy Cabanne, 1947)
Christy Cabanne made over one hundred sixty films in a career spanning over three decades. Scared to Death is one of the last he made, and it conclusively proves one fact: all that experience didn't make him any better a director. That it survives at all may be attributable to a single fact: it is the only color film in which Bela Lugosi starred.
The plot, if I can call it that: A dead woman (Molly Lamont) tells the story of how she ... Read More
Rating:  - Horror Comedy
Scared to Death is a rare example of a horror parody that works both as horror and comedy. Usually such flicks work as comedies, but utterly fail in the horror department. Scared to Death does a great job of establishing a creepy, moody atmosphere.
Scared to Death features strong performances, most notably from Bela Lugosi, George Zucco and Nat Pendleton. The movie itself is quite lovely to look at. The film was shot in "natural color" which is quite similar to two strip Technicolor ... Read More

Rating: - Amusing Cast, But Best Left To Diehard Lugosi Fans
Bela Lugosi had a notable career during the 1930s--but success of his landmark performance in the 1931 DRACULA combined and his exotic appearance and accent left him typecast, and during the 1940s he found work increasingly difficult to obtain. By the mid-1940s he was so greatly pressed that he began to accept work in low-budget independent movies. Among the first of these was the 1947 SCARED TO DEATH, a film often described as the only color movie in which Lugosi appeared. This is not strictly true: ... Read More
Rating: - 'Scared to Death' a comedy that's been forced into a horror movie mold?
"Scared to Death" is either a really bad horror movie, or an incredibly quirky comedy (although not necessarily a good one). I don't often do much research on the films I review for this page, but this short B-movie (which is one of Bela Lugosi's few color appearances, by the way) left me so confused about what the filmmakers had been hoping to accomplish that I did some searching online in hopes of finding some reviewer who could give me a little context.
Well, no one seems to have more of ... Read More
