Old horror movie buffs, hoping you can help me come up with the name of a movie or TV series?

Question

this may have been on. I have very few details but hopefully something about this will spark someone's memory:

I get the feeling this was one of those TV productions that showed three or so stories in an hour format. Possibly a feature film, but I doubt it. Had an English visual feel to it in my memory.

The plot is basically that there's a very rich man in an isolated (maybe English) castle/mansion and he is extremely ugly. He's been looking for a wife but he wants someone that really loves him and doesn't just want his money. He goes thru 2 or 3, he finds out they're after his $ and then he opens his mouth very wide and makes this deafening sound, which turns the women to stone. It ends with him killing the wife he thought really loved him b/c he finds out she really didn't love him either. In the movie, even tho he's killing them you feel sorry for this guy.

Any thoughts at all? I know this is really obscure.

kepjr:

YAY! That's IT, that's the one. That's right - he whistled and I forgot the thing about their faces, I had it all turned around!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'll check out Great Mysteries - and if anyone knows the name of this please leave an answer.

Answer 1

It seems I have seen this too. What I remember is the man was ugly, but instead of turning them to stone, he burned their faces with a whistle. The last woman he did this to was actually married or had a boyfriend and she was after his money because that is what the other man wanted. The ugly guy whistled, even though he did not want to, and burned the face off the woman. I remember her going back to her lover and asking him "Do you still love me?", though you do not see her face. This might be a TV series called "Great Mysteries" but don't quote me on that. I am sorry I could not help more.

Answer 2

No, Nothing.........
