Name that Old Horror Movie?


Hello Movie Enthusiasts,

Looking for a horror B-movie from sometime between late 60s to the mid-70s, maybe to the late 70s, to the best of my knowledge. Can't remember if it was a theater movie or TV movie release. I remember seeing it on television, never saw it at the theater.

One of the scenes (think near the end) involves a women who is attack by a tree or plant with blood/fluid sucking branches after she walk out into a garden area of a house. The scene shows the branches attacking her being emptied of fluids leaving what looks like a dried up corpse afterwards. Think this tree/plant has several victims in the movie.

Thought it was the movie Frogs (1972) where all sorts of mutated creatures live on the island, but the plot doesn't mention the woman and blood sucking tree.

Thanks TwinA.

I watched the movie on Youtube. For some reason I remember the tree sucking the body dry leaving the carcass all shrived up. Also, thought the movie was a quite a bit higher in quality. But, then again the film was in better shape nearly 50 years ago. Despite the slight differences, the plot is very close to my fundamental memory of it. Vaguely remember the rabbit getting fed to the tree.

Did they do any remake of this movie incorporating the blood sucking tree?

Maybe my mind and imagination conjured up an image much scarier than what was portrayed in the movie. My imagination running away with me. I was 3 years old at the time this movie was released, only a few years older when it was aired on television.

Still bugs me that I might be remembering possibly someone else's rendition of that scene with the women on that patio. It just simply be my horrified mind might have distorted the memory of that scene.

I have some time, I'll keep an eye out for similar scenes.

Thanks,
