The creepy pre-code chiller starring horror icon Bela Lugosi! In mid-19th century Paris, the mad Dr. Mirakle (Lugosi) kidnaps women for his diabolical experiments. Director Robert Florey adapts the immortal classic by Edgar Allen Poe, using cinematographer Karl Freund’s expressionistic use of light and shadow to stylishly craft a memorably vicious and sinister shocker.
