(1932) Jean Galland, Thomy Bourdelle, Tania Fedor, Georges Rigaud. Fantomas, a hooded killer, is loose in an old chateau on a stormy night. Guests suspect something is amiss. When a call is made to the police, the wire is cut. The wind howls. After entering from a secret panel, Fantomas strangles an old lady, then disappears into the night. Later, another murder takes place in a ritzy hotel as Fantomas strangles a princess and steals her necklace. His final crime is pouring oil onto a racetrack, causing one of the cars to spin into a horrible crash. The scene where Fantomas is apprehended is preceded by a brutal fight scene.. A classic!
