Curiosidades

Scared to Death is a 1947 American gothic thriller film directed by Christy Cabanne and starring Bela Lugosi, George Zucco, Nat Pendleton and Molly Lamont. The picture was filmed in Cinecolor. The film is historically important as the only color film in which Bela Lugosi has a starring role. Lionel Atwill was originally intended to appear in the film but he was too ill to work, so George Zucco replaced him in the cast. Christy Cabanne completed the film in early 1946, but it was not screened until 1947.

Production

The film was based on a one-act play which in turn was based on a 1933 murder case involving Dr. Alice Wynekoop.

The film was announced in March 1946 as Accent on Horror. The Autopsy was another title that was considered.
