Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!"

I watched Daughter of Horror, not the original version called Dementia. Of course the newer version has a voice over by Ed McMahon of Star search/Johnny Carson fame. Dementia had no voice over.

Neither film had dialog. The only thing you heard was the music of George Antheil. You watched as the faces of the actors gave the story. A woman (Adrienne Barrett) possessed by madness; the daughter of a philandering mother and a drunken father who murdered her, even as she murdered her father.

It was Luis Buñuel and Orson Welles throughout. Even the character of the rich man (Bruno VeSota) was channeling Orson Welles.

It is a bohemian rhapsody wrapped in madness. A strange but compelling film.

Trivia
This is the movie playing in the theatre in the original version of "The Blob"

Quotes
Narrator: Come with me into the tormented, haunted, half-lit night of the insane. This is my world. Let me lead you into it. Let me take you into the mind of a woman who is mad. You may not recognize some things in this world, and the faces will look strange to you. For this is a place where there is no love, no hope...in the pulsing, throbbing world of the insane mind, where only nightmares are real, nightmares of the Daughter of Horror!

Crazy credits
In the Preston Sturges quotation before the opening credits, several instances of the word "Italicized" appear, spelled out in regular type in parentheses, rather than actually employing any italic type.

Alternate versions
The original version, released as 'Dementia', had no narration; that was voiced by Ed McMahon and added for the re-release under title 'Daughter of Horror.'
