- Synopsis:
- The story revolves around a 19th century theatre troupe in Paris specializing in gory, naturalistic horror plays in the fashion of the Grand Guignol. The director, Jason Robards, is presenting Poe’s ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’. Robard’s wife, the actress Madeline (Christine Kaufmann), whose mother had been murdered by axe, is haunted by nightmares of an axe-wielding man. Rene Marot (Herbert Lom), a former lover of Madeline’s mother thought long dead after being horribly disfigured on stage, mysteriously returns and begins murdering members and ex-members of the acting troupe, confounding the Paris police who initially suspect Robards.
