Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLewis Moffatt's tombstone at the start of the movie states that he was born in 1933 and died in 1955 at age 22. George E Mather, the actor playing Lewis Moffatt was born in 1920, and would have been 35 in 1955. The movie was released in 1962, by which time George E Matter would have been 42. It is not clear exactly what year the movie was filmed, but Mather was clearly in his late 30's or early 40's when he was playing a 22 year old character.

5 Things I Like About "Ring of Terror"
Although it is not a very good movie, there are a few things I actually like about this film.
First is the scene with the rattle snake. Believe it or not, this actually scared me the first time I saw it (I was about 40). I hate snakes anyway and a rattler finding its way into a parked car seemed very plausible and unnerving to me. Yikes.
Second is the music which immediately precedes the snake scene. As the Buick convertible pulls up to a Magnolia tree and parks, the students are playing the car radio. I don't know what the name of the song is or the artist, but I absolutely love it—late night mood music. The same recording turned up briefly in "Hideous Sun Demon."
Third is the music heard during the outdoor fraternity party the night the assignments are given out. Several tunes are heard, but this one is clearly the "B" side of the record used for the snake scene. It's by the same group and has the same sexy, late night jazziness about it. It's great.
Fourth is the ending with the ring. Perhaps, like the rest of the movie, it was crudely done. But nevertheless, when the student goes into the mortuary and is sweating it out removing the ring, I felt very tense, just waiting for something awful to happen. It worked for me.
Lastly is the fact that there are some fairly hot guys in the cast, which always brightens things up a bit. I won't name them, you can see for yourself.
Not a great film, but still a few things to like about it.
