Picture Mommy Dead is a 1966 American horror film directed by Bert I. Gordon and starring Don Ameche and Martha Hyer. The film follows the genre of a "mad family", that Psycho (1960) started.
Susan Shelley thinks her father, Edward, killed her mother, Jessica, years ago. Newly released from an asylum after 3 years, she is reunited with her father and a new stepmother, Francene, but suspicious goings-on threaten to push her over the edge.
Gene Tierney was originally announced for a lead role and Hedy Lamarr was signed to support Ameche and Hyer. However, Lamarr was fired from the film when she collapsed during filming from nervous exhaustion. She was replaced by Gabor.
