Fun Facts: Hallowe’en Party is set in UK but this movie sets in Venice (if the title didn’t tip you off).

There were a lot of surprises for the cast while filming the scenes, especially the seance scene.

Summary: On Halloween night in Venice, a retired detective finds himself coming out of retirement when a murder occurred during the seance.

The One Liner Review: Comparing this to the movie plot and the Wikipedia summary, it’s difficult for me to follow it, and probably the other works of Agatha Christie, but it was a nice touch to add some horror to the mystery.
