SYNOPSIS

Into the volatile atmosphere of terror and helplessness, brought about by the vicious murders of London's East End prostitutes . . . The Dead House Bob Luciano as The Constable, Ken Schactman as Dr. Philips Larry Brustofski as The Lodger, Mr. Hunt looking for "Quiet Rooms." . . . a lone man knocked on the door of Mr. And Mrs. Bunting’s lodging house. Mr. Hunt . . . Strange. A bit eccentric. A scientist who performed "experiments" in the silence of his attic room.  A solemn man who nightly pored over the Bible. The Buntings’ daughter, Melissa, in love with John Chandler, Scotland Yard’s lead inspector, was deeply interested in the case that kept her lover preoccupied and away from her. It wasn’t long before she began to suspect that the strange man who lived in the quiet attic rooms above her bedroom was none other than Jack the Ripper himself. Katie Florie as Melissa Barbara McCarthy as Mrs. Bunting in "Close Your Eyes." She was unaware that Mr. Hunt had singled her out to obsessively fantasize over as his ideal of womanhood. A love which haunted him nightly and created an intense love triangle of which she and John Chandler were completely unaware. Nor were they aware that Mr. Hunt’s passionate interest placed her in grave jeopardy. Katie Florie as Melissa Larry Brutofski as Mr. Hunt in "Could There Be?" Was Mr. Hunt the Ripper? Or was he simply a deeply troubled man, tortured by loneliness, who avidly read the daily journals about the murders and was deeply affected by the bloody visceral nature of the crimes. There were many suspects, but the Ripper was never found. He simply disappeared leaving behind him, not only a frustrated trail of theorists and would-be solutions to the crimes, but one of the most romanticized tales of a vicious serial killer ever to horrify . . . and fascinate . . . a civilized world. Interestingly enough, even the fictionalized THE LODGER was based on a true story: A friend of the novelist, who owned a lodging house in 1888, was convinced that her lodger was none other than Jack the Ripper.  Ms. Belloc-Lowndes was so intrigued by the story that she wrote her famous novel based upon her friend’s suspicions.
