The Gruesome Twosome is a 1967 American splatter comedy film, produced and directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. The film played on a double bill with another 1967 film by the same director, Something Weird.^[1]

Mrs. Pringle (Elizabeth Davis) owns a wig shop in a little town in Florida, but she is a demented woman who lives with her mentally disabled son, Rodney (Chris Martell), in a home where she rents rooms to young women attending the local university.

Students are disappearing; they are killed and scalped by a mysterious murderer. When Kathy, a student attending the university nearby, tries to figure out who is killing her classmates, the police discover the terrible truth about the fate of the young victims. And the truth, of course, involves Mrs. Pringle and her son.
