Ring of Terror

Old Yew, which graspest at the stones
That name the under-lying dead,
Thy fibres net the dreamless head,
Thy roots are wrapt about the bones...
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Hello everyone and welcome. What is it that makes man or woman for that matter afraid of death. I wish I could answer this myself but I like many am too afraid of the eternal rest. There are a lot of people who can't even go to funeral without fainting or having a panic attack. Then there are those who are afraid of the darkness. Oh yes as children most of us are afraid of the darkness, playing tricks on our eyes. A shadow, a flicker of the curtains or a creak of a door. In today's film from 1962 called Ring of Terror, we have a little of both fears. We start off with a medical student named Lewis Moffitt. Moffitt unlike Doc Martin who has a fear of blood, has a fear of the dark. Stemming from an ordeal he had as a child. While at medical school, Lewis has a chance to join a fraternity. Only his fellow medical students somehow know of his fear of the dark and come up with a plan. Ah, fraternities, I think I rather stay in a dorm. Staring in this tale of old jewelry we have...George Mather as Lewis B. Moffitt, Austin Green as Carl, Esther Furst as Betty Crawford, Norman Ollestad as Lew's Roommate, Lomax Study as Professor Rayburn, Pamela Raymond as Alice Lund, Joseph Conway as R.J. Dobson, June Smaney as Rag Doll Milford, Ann Morgan as the Coed Waitress and Ollie O'Toole as Dr. Walsh. So lets make some grave digger cocktails, leave a nightlight on and enjoy. As always thanks so much for watching.
