The Name of the Game Is Kill! (1968)
While making his way across the Arizona desert, a transient Hungarian refugee, Symcha Lipa, accepts a lift from a young woman, Mickey Terry, who drives him to her family's gas station in a ghost town. He is met by Mrs. Terry, a nervous, fidgety woman, and by Mickey's two hostile sisters, the masculine-looking Diz and the child-like, spider-loving Nan, both of whom make sexual overtures to the visitor. After spending the night, Symcha tries to sneak away but is run down by someone driving the family's old black Packard. When he recovers in a small adjacent town, the local sheriff advises him to stay away from the family and tells him of the disappearance of Mickey's fiance. Despite this warning, Symcha returns to the gas station and accepts a job from Mickey.
As the hapless foreigner begins to fall in love with Mickey, he soon realizes the Terry family are a completely unhinged bunch...and it's a gamble whether he'll escape with his life!
