6. Who's That In The Bathtub? - Les Diaboliques (1955)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QarnPMb6LZc Michel is the sadistic head master of a second rate boarding school. The school is owned by his nerves afflicted wife Christina and he also has a mistress - a teacher called Nicole whom he flaunts brazenly. The two women have forged an alliance and plot to kill Michel. They drown him in the bath and then throw him into a swimming pool on the hope his body will rise to the top of the water looking like an accident. But when the water is drained from the pool, there is no body and one of the women is going to get the shock of her life in a bath... As is the viewer... And that is all I can say because the film's denouement is a jealously guarded secret. But I assure you, it is pant wettingly scary.
