In this entertaining horror film from director Pete Walker, Delia (Pamela Fairbrother) comes to the home of Dorothy Yates (Sheila Keith) for a tarot card reading. But things go awry and she finds herself locked inside and the nutty old lady grabs a flaming poker from the fireplace and stabs her in the stomach with it. It’s not explicitly shown, but there’s a shot of her with an ugly burn scar afterward. Here’s some trivia for you: as far as I can tell, Pamela Fairbrother is the only the second actress (along with Maria Montez) to be in the receiving end of two different hot irons in 2 different movies, having also received the treatment in Cry of the Banshee. Well, if you have to be famous for something, I can think of a whole lot worse.
