Satan's School for Girls (1973)

Satan's School for Girls (1973, USA) C-74m. *** D: David Lowell Rich. Starring Pamela Franklin, Kate Jackson, Lloyd Bochner, Jamie Smith-Jackson, Roy Thinnes, Jo Van Fleet, Cheryl Stoppelmoor (Ladd). Above-average, interesting chiller made for TV about Franklin, whose sister inexplicably committed suicide. She goes to her sister's school to investigate, enrolling as a student. She finds out there's something weird going on and more suicides are to follow. What mystery is the basement harboring? Quite well-directed mystery horror makes the most of its capacities. Might even have been an influence for SUSPIRIA (1977). Written by Arthur A. Ross (CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, THE GREAT RACE), coproduced by Aaron Spelling. Remade in 2000.
