(1959, Upgraded 12/30/20) James Best, Ingrid Goude, Gordon McLendon, Ken Curtis, Baruch Lumet. "And the shrew devours everything. Flesh, bones, marrow...everything."

(1959, upgraded 8/31/23) Horst Frank, Michel Simon, Paul Dahlke, Herlmut Schmid, Christiane Maybach, Michel Simon. Another must-see film! A serum that keeps severed portions of the human body alive is used by a mad doctor on its own inventors decapitated head. Horst Frank, as Dr. Ood, is a total nut-job and gives what is easily one of the best mad scientist portrayals of the 1950s.  The insane purpose of his experiments is to give his hunchbacked nurse assistant a new body.  Creepy and atmospheric. A very gothic sci-fi horror film and one that we highly recommended. Please note that our version, which is completely uncut and in English, has the original U.S. Trans-Lux opening and closing titles.  From a beautiful 35mm print.
