Nicholson after his departure from American International Pictures — a company he had run, along with Samuel Z. Arkoff, since 1954. Nicholson died of a brain tumour in December, 1972, before the film's release in June, 1973. The external shots of the house were filmed at Wykehurst Park, East Sussex. Nicholson's company, Academy Pictures Corporation, also released "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" through Twentieth Century Fox in 1974.Plot synopsis
A team of scientists and psychics are sent to a house, originally owned by the notorious Emeric Belasco, to prove or disprove the existence of an after life. They also bring a machine that will supposedly rid the house of any paranormal presence.
In a previous expedition to the house, everybody except Roddy McDowell's character either died or went mad.
