WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN WHOEVER SLEW AUNTIE ROO
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - High camp, indeed!
This is a dynamic duo of campy horror flicks featuring major stars in just the sort of film we don't expect to see them in!
At times, Shelly Winters chews the scenery (and we love her for it) -- but it's Debbie Reynolds who truly shines in What's the Matter With Helen, definitely the better of the two movies.
What's the Matter With Helen features great costumes, sets, music and dance. So, if you are a fan of the Busby Berkley movies of the 1930's or big Hollywood musicals ... Read More
Rating:  - Just as I remembered it
This is a little cheesy, but it's old and good,,,I recommend it.
Rating: - JUST GREAT!!!
Going along the lines of question titles like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", "What's the Matter with Helen?" and "Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?" is campy, macabre delight at its very, very best.

Debbie Reynolds is great in the film, but Winters ... Read More
Rating: - Nice double dose of Shelley...
I LOVE Shelley Winters and this DVD provides a nice double dose of her at her most "over the top" crazy. "Who Slew Auntie Roo?" has Ms. Winters playing Auntie Roo, a kindly old soul who provides extravagent Christmas cheer to some poor orphans. Complications arise when one of the orphans reminds Auntie Roo of her deceased daughter-whose rotted corpse Auntie Roo keeps upstairs in the nursery. "What's the Matter with Helen" has Ms Winters playing an insane religious fanatic in a lurid tale of murder ... Read More
Rating: - Two Macabre Period "Horror" Efforts With Shelley Winters
To label the two films offered on this Midnite Movies DVD release; "What's the Matter with Helen?", and "Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?", as horror efforts on reflection I guess is using the term a bit loosely. Quite possibly they should be classified more as period psychological dramas with a decidely bizzare twist to them. Both films I have long wanted to see and to have both combined now on this one DVD in beautifully pristine restored prints is a real treat for any lover of macabre efforts starring larger ...
