Old black & white film, maybe B-movie or not - Help

[bluetank41]

Hi there, can anyone remember an old black & white film, where the end scene of the film had a woman (i think) coming down the stairs in a stairlift chair & when she gets to the bottom, her head rolls off, you can see this only in shadow form on the staircase wall, It is also possible that this film had a pre-scare warning to sensative viewers of the horror that was in the end scene, i thought the film was called "Homicide", but i can't find any info on it anywhere, but something tells me the title of the film was one word only, many thanks reading this, what a great site, - bluetank41.

You were awfully close. The movie you're thinking of is "Homicidal" from William Castle.

Here's the last few minutes of the film, with the scene you described:
