Need help in identifying an old movie.

67.169.201.28

I watched this movie in the early sixties. The film was in color and took place in modern times. The opening scene shows a delivery man dropping off a package to an apartment where two beautiful women resided.
One of the women opens the package and inside is a pair of binoculars. Curious, she picks them up, puts them to her eyes, turns the focus knob and two spikes fly-out and kill her.

That scene is the only thing my impressionable young mind remembers about that film. I do recall watching 'The Man with the X-Ray Eyes' sometime during that period in my life but I haven't been able to find it as a rental to check if the binocular scene is in it.

What movie this scene was in has been like a splinter in my brain for over fourty years. I'm hoping someone in this forum can help remove it.

Thanks in advance.

  Went into my favorite DVD store on the internet, typed in the name and there it was complete with a cover showing an artists interpretation of the binocular scene!
  
  Have it on order. Can't wait to relive that child-hood nightmare.
  
  Thanks again.

    It comes with the original "Hypno-Vista" introduction warning of the gruesomeness of the movie (as an extra, not at the beginning).

        You're right I should have noted the site. DeepDiscount.com is the best site on the internet for DVDs at great prices. That's where I found it.
