Two on a Guillotine (1965)

In the shadowy realm of illusions and the macabre, the flamboyant magician, Duke Duquesne, once reigned supreme, captivating audiences with his chilling tricks and eerie stage presence. However, the eccentric Duke's lifestyle led to the estrangement of his infant daughter, Cassie, who was sent to live with a distant aunt in Wisconsin. Now a mirror image of her mother in her early twenties, Cassie has spent her life blissfully ignorant of her parents' world, especially since her mother, Melinda, disappeared when she was just a babe. Two decades later, Cassie is summoned back to Los Angeles upon receiving news of her father's death. A theatrical specter till the end, Duke's funeral is as dramatic as his life with a promise to rise from the dead. Post his death, Cassie is drawn into the enigmatic vortex of his existence when she learns that she is the sole heir to his $300,000 estate. There's just one peculiar condition: Cassie must spend seven consecutive nights, from midnight to dawn, in Duke's secluded, eerie mansion. Overcoming her initial resentment towards her father, Cassie delves into the labyrinth of the mansion, assisted by the mysterious Val Henderson. Together, they navigate the mansion's peculiarities, which seem to echo the illusions of the Great Duquesne's professional life. However, Cassie is oblivious to Val's true identity as a reporter seeking a sensational story. As the mansion reveals more spine-chilling secrets and inexplicable events, Cassie must confront the terrifying possibility of someone trying to scare her away from her inheritance, or even the unthinkable—Duke Duquesne rising from his grave. The key to these mysteries might lie locked away in a room within the house, the only key to which was buried with the Great Duquesne. As Cassie embarks on this eerie journey, the line between illusion and reality blurs, leading her into a realm where fear, suspense, and intrigue reign supreme.
