What happens

The Night God Screamed is a 1971 American psychological thriller/horror film, independently made on a low budget by Lasky/Carlin Productions (producers Ed Carlin and Gil Lasky, with Lasky writing the screenplay). Due to the sensitivities connected with displaying such a provocative title, theater owners in small town and rural communities were offered the option of using the simple alternative, Scream. The film was directed by Lee Madden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
