STORY SUMMARY

This collection explores Bela Lugosi's varied screen roles, bringing together sinister scientists, mysterious strangers, criminal masterminds and even a heroic magician.

In The Ape Man, a scientific experiment leaves a doctor desperately searching for a cure. The Devil Bat turns an unusual invention into an instrument of revenge, while The Corpse Vanishes follows a disturbing scheme involving stolen brides.

White Zombie places Lugosi at the center of a haunting tale of manipulation and supernatural control. Invisible Ghost, Bowery at Midnight and Scared to Death offer different combinations of murder, deception and eerie atmosphere.

Ghosts on the Loose and Spooks Run Wild mix spooky settings with youthful comic misadventures. Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla adds jungle comedy, while Black Dragons and The Mysterious Mr. Wong bring criminal intrigue to the selection.

Chandu on the Magic Isle, The Phantom Creeps and Shadow of Chinatown provide feature-length adventures connected to Lugosi's serial work. Plan 9 from Outer Space rounds out the collection with alien visitors, reanimated corpses and footage of Lugosi filmed near the end of his career.
