Dear Dead Delilah is a 1972 American slasher film written and directed by John Farris and starring Agnes Moorehead, Will Geer, Michael Ansara, Dennis Patrick, Anne Meacham, and Robert Gentry.[1][2] It follows a group of family members in a dilapidated Nashville plantation who fall victim to axe murders while searching for a family fortune hidden somewhere on the property.
It was filmed on location in Nashville, Tennessee.[3] Star Agnes Moorehead was in ill health from terminal cancer during production, so her character was written to be in a wheelchair as part of the story. Moorehead died less than 2 years after the film was released.
