Hi Mlping, and welcome to the Straight Dope! I think it’s been established that [the movie with a scary female character singing “hey nonny nonny”](https://www.kindertrauma.com/traumafession-casper-on-mercedes-mccambridge-in-two-for-the-money-1972/) was the [1972 film Two for the Money.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067891/) I don’t know how that ties in with your shack-hiding mental-hospital worker.
