Red Wedding Night (1970)
Der Mörder ist nicht immer der Gärtner! John Harrington ist Geschäftsführer eines soliden Brautmodenfachgeschäfts. Niemand seiner Mitarbeiter ahnt, dass er Frauen kurz vor ihrem Hochzeitstag auf brutale Weise mit einem Hackebeil umbringt und sie danach im Ofen seines Gewächshauses verbrennt. Angetrieben wird Harrington von einem Kindheitstrauma, an das er sich jedoch nur noch bruchstückhaft erinnern kann. Mit jedem neuen Opfer sieht der Hackebeilmörder das Gesicht des Mörders seiner eigenen Mutter deutlicher vor seinem inneren Auge. Die wurde nämlich ebenfalls kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit auf grausame Weise umgebracht. Doch als der Psychopath schließlich seine eigene Frau Mildred verhackstückt, rächt sie sich: Sie kehrt als Geist zurück, um ihren Gemahl in den Wahnsinn zu treiben.
