Dementia 13

Dementia 13

Dementia 13 (released as The Haunted and the Hunted in the United Kingdom) is a 1963 horror-thriller film released by American International Pictures, starring William Campbell, Patrick Magee and Luana Anders. The film was written and directed by Francis Coppola and produced by Roger Corman. Although Coppola had been involved in at least two nudie films previously, Dementia 13 served as his first mainstream "legitimate" directorial effort. Corman offered Coppola the chance to direct a low-budget horror film in Ireland with funds left over from Corman's recently completed The Young Racers, on which Coppola had worked as a sound technician. The producer wanted a cheap Psycho copy—complete with gothic atmosphere and brutal killings—and Coppola quickly wrote a screenplay in accordance with Corman's requirements. Although he was given total directorial freedom during production, Coppola found himself fighting with Corman after the film was completed. The producer declared it unreleasable and demanded several changes be made. Corman eventually brought in another director, Jack Hill, to film additional sequences. The title appears on a marquee in the Coppola-produced film American Graffiti (1973), even though that film was set in 1962, before the release of Dementia 13. A remake by director Richard LeMay was released on October 6, 2017.
