The Corpse Vanishes (1942)

Old Fashioned Horror Entertainment


This horror story plot is simple: Bela Lugosi is Dr. George Lorenz. Dr. Lorenz is a scientist with a wife of unknown age. With the help of a strange family, the doctor kills young women, steals their gland fluid and injects his wife with the fluid in order to keep her young.

This is a pretty good old fashioned horror film. My questions are: How did Lorenz and the Countess met? How was the Countess kept alive before she met Dr. George? If they had made this movie about 30 minutes longer they could have filled in quite a few blanks. But the movie is still worth watching - I just wish this one was a bit longer than an hour to give us a bit more background on the Countess herself.

7.5/10
