Alerted by a terrible scream, the Hemlockhurst household and guests dash to the dining room to discover Magdalena Garterfling murdered. Suspicion immediately falls upon Chamelea, whose behavior grows increasingly erratic. Dr. Pivott takes charge of her, revealing that he is her psychiatrist as well as Timthie's.
Rural England, 1930s. A distinguished psychiatrist, Dr. Vaughn Pivott, is driving his young patient, Timthie Draven, through a terrible storm, and is deeply concerned that Timthie will miss his next dose of medication. A sudden car accident, in which the doctor vanishes in the wild river, makes this inevitable, and Timthie seeks shelter at a nearby Gothic mansion, Hemlockhurst Hall, where a whole separate cauldron of mayhem and murder is brewing. In the midst of it, Timthie meets the lovely and fragile Chamelea Hemlockhurst, who turns out to be on the same psych medication as Timthie...and like him, she has missed her last dose. Are these young people, then, responsible for the night of terror that follows?
In the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and vintage old-dark-house thrillers, BAD MEDICINE offers plenty of classic mystery entertainment.
