The 1966 cheapie Castle of Evil has a group of people arriving on an island to hear the reading of a dead scientist's will. Upon hearing the will, they learn that the dead man believes one of them is responsible for his death. They must figure out who dunnit before the innocent parties can inherit his estate. Meanwhile, a robot the scientist built starts killing people. His appearance is noteworthy; the special effects team behind this movie was under the apparent impression that if you glued bits of a pepperoni pizza onto an actor's face, that would make him scary.

But the best part about this campfest is the performance of one Virginia Mayo, who for some mysterious reason didn't shoot to superstardom after this one. She soon decides which one of the men she likes and--despite the ongoing rampage of the killer robot--begins making her move. When the man tells her he enjoys her company, she responds "Why, that's the nicest thing a man's ever said to me when he didn't have his hand on my knee," while moving her chair closer to him so he can put his hand on her knee. Now that's the kind of character I can relate to!
