(1947, Updated 11/8/21) Bela Lugosi, George Zucco, Nat Pendleton, Molly Lamont, Douglas Fowley, Angelo Rossito. One of the more novel concepts in the history of horror films, the entire story is told by the spirit of a dead lady who's body is lying on a cold slab in the morgue. A creepy old mansion is the scene where a girl is literally scared to death. The why's and how's of it are of secondary importance because this is Bela's only color film. There are some nice moments between Lugosi and Zucco. Rossito and Lugosi also paired up in The Corpse Vanishes a few years earlier. A gorgeous video transfer with beautiful color. From 35mm.
