Big Gay Horror Fan gives it up, thespian style, by celebrating the work of old school powerhouse Edith Atwater (Sweet Smell of Success, True Grit) and respected television actress Antoinette Bower (Prom Night, Blood Song) in twisted 1972 (Heiress Horror offering) Die Sister, Die! (with gloriously misleading poster art and all)!

While the late 80’s and early 90’s produced tons of T and A thrillers about duplicitous nurses and meekly threatened invalids (starring the glorious likes of Shannon Tweed, Morgan Fairchild, Tanya Roberts and Shannon Whirry), Atwater and Bower (as seeming victim and gentle aggressor, respectively,) bring a gravitas to the proceedings that outweighs those future sexy video escapades by miles!

In fact, Die Sister, Die! and its legacy are still being felt today, as evidenced by this recent remake starring famed Scream Queen, Brinke Stevens!:
