尖叫的头骨(1958)

　　The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
　　Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
　　Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
　　Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
　　After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.

豆瓣电影网友：《尖叫的头骨》是一部美国电影，1958年播出以来就受到广大观众的喜爱，经常看美国电影，喜欢的原因：首先觉得美国电影比较有剧情，内容比较丰富多彩，只有你想不到没有美国电影想不到的情节。再有就是众所周知的特效，美国电影的超级特效特别好、特别炫、特别高逼格，自然而然会带给你很多视觉冲击。当然我们国内的影视特效也有飞快的进步，现在很多大片的特效都在国内做得，最后应该就是人物了，演员演技不说，人物角色往往都贴满鲜明的标签。当然美国电影也有让我有分分钟弃剧冲动的，槽点满满，所以一部好电影，好美国电影在以上三点（情、特效、角色设置）的选择上是至关重要的。它重视个人成就、崇拜个人奋斗，讲究个人价值最大程度的实现。美国电影是灌输个人主义的主要工具，从上一篇:红邪 下一篇:僵尸吃人之午夜恐惧，“救世主们”一次次让美国扮演拯救世界的角色，英雄来到地球是“为了美国式的真理和正义”，让观众在不知不觉中认同美国具有拯救并主导世界强权地位的天然能力。
