Eddie Collins finds that he is unable to perform sexually with women because of some earlier repressed memories of his mother. After accidentally killing a woman while trying to sleep with her, he finds that he is able to get aroused by the dead body. This leads him into a chain of luring women into bed in order to kill them for sexual gratification.
[edit] Re-Release
The film did not do well initially at the box office, so Corman had Hanson film two additional sex scenes to try to increase its appeal and the film was re-released as A Kiss from Eddie and The Arousers.[2]
