Synopsis
Two cinematic legends -- Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) and Peter Lorre (Casablanca) -- join forces in a movie that combines spine-tingling thrills with slapstick comedy. Karloff stars as bumbling scientist Nathaniel Billings, whose experiments have led to the deaths of several traveling salesmen, leaving their bodies piling up in the cellar. When a young divorcee (Jeff Donnell, Sweet Smell of Success) buys the professor's house to create a hotel, it's only a matter of time before suspicions arise. The town's sheriff/doctor/loan shark (Lorre) looks to stop Billings, but sees the financial gain and becomes his partner instead. Will the doctor's experiments be stopped before more bodies get added to the cellar? Newly remastered.
