Taken from IMDB: John Haloran has a fatal heart attack, but his wife Louise won't get any of the inheritance when Lady Haloran dies if John is dead.
Louise forges a letter from John to convince the rest of his family he's been called to New York on important business, and goes to his Irish ancestral home, Castle Haloran, to meet the family and look for a way to ensure a cut of the loot.
Seven years earlier John's sister Kathleen was drowned in the pond, and the Halorans enact a morbid ritual in remembrance.
Date : 1963
Cast : William Campbell (film actor) as Richard Haloran.
Dementia 13 was one of several Roger Corman productions the veteran B-movie character actor appeared in,
but it was the first that was completed on such a small budget.
Coppola had convinced Campbell, and his The Young Racers co-star Patrick Magee, to appear in the film.
The actor originally felt it would turn out to be a strictly "amateur endeavor", but he soon became impressed by CoppolaâEEEs leadership abilities, talent, and energy on the set.
Dementia 13 was one of several appearances she made in AIP productions.
Most of these films had been directed by Roger Corman, including"ajor role co-starring with Vincent Price in The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 film) (1961).
Like Campbell and Patrick Magee, Anders had been borrowed by Coppola from the cast of Corman's just completed The Young Racers.
After Dementia 13, Anders never had such a sizable role again, appearing in numerous small parts in both television and film until her death from breast cancer in 1996.
Patrick Magee (actor) as Dr.
Justin Caleb.
Magee's role as the family doctor who manages to solve the mystery in Dementia 13 was one of many horror film parts the Tony Award-winning actor accepted during the course of his distinguished career.
He had just finished shooting Corman's The Young Racers when Coppola convinced him, along with his Racers co-stars Campbell and Anders, to appear in Coppola's debut feature.
Years later, Campbell warmly remembered Magee as being a brilliant performer although a little prone to overacting.
This cheap William Castle-style gimmick also included a "D-13 Test" handout given to theatre patrons that was ostensibly devised by a "medical expert" to weed out psychologically unfit people from viewing the film.
The test consisted of such questions as "The most effective way of settling a dispute is with one quick stroke of an axe to your adversary'cc
