Twice-Told Tales
“A trio of terror!”
Synopsis
Three horror stories are adapted from the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first, titled “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment,” follows Dr. Heidegger as he attempts to restore the youth of three elderly friends. The second, “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” depicts a demented father who inoculates his daughter with poison so she will never leave her garden of poisonous plants. The third, “The House of the Seven Gables,” concerns the Pyncheon family, which suffers from a century‑old curse; while they argue over inheritance, a stranger arrives.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 15
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
