"Here's how it works: At the start of certain scenes that many may consider too shocking, a red Fear Flasher will begin its signal on the screen to alert you to the terror ahead. When you hear the Horror Horn, shut your eyes and hold your ears!"; "Because there are many scenes that many will consider too shocking...we have integrated an audio visual warning system into this motion picture to abate your anxiety and tension."; "Story by Ray Russell and Stephen Kandel") starring Cesare Danova, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Laura Devon, Patrice Wymore, Suzy Parker, Tun Tun, Philip Bourneuf, Patrick O'Neal ("as Jason"), and Tony Curtis (in an uncredited role). Note that this movie was very loosely based on the series of killings by the serial killer dubbed "The Boston Strangler", which began in 1962. The major studios at that time did not feel it was appropriate to make a movie about such a distasteful subject, but by 1968, when the studio system had begun to break down, a major movie was made based on it, called "The Boston Strangler", starring Tony Curtis (who had an uncredited role in this movie). Finally, note that the serial killer in this movie was called "Jason", and we would have to think it is no coincidence that the killer in "Friday the 13th" had the same name!
