This was originally a TV movie that NBC thought was too violent and so they sent it to theaters instead. I believe it was going to be a series for TV but it never happened.
Patrick O' Neal is a killer who chops off his own hand to escape the police and the uses a variety of weapons on his new arm including hooks, knives and hatchets. He seeks revenge on those who tried to send him to prison. O' Neal plays the role very, very well.
Wilfred Hyde White and Cesare Donova are two men who own a wax museum and they try and catch the killer. For publicity reasons a "horror horn" and "terror siren" were added tpo the film and flashed before each killing.
The cast is rouned out by Marie Windsor, Jeanette Nolan, Wayne Rogers and lovely Laura Devon. Good fun and good chills and watch for Tony Curtis as a gambler in a whorehouse. Recommended!! As a side note gorgeous Laura Devon only made five films before getting out of the business..which is a shame but totally understandable.
