Vintage studio still photograph of a camera crew capturing a scene with actors Bela Lugosi, David Manners, and Julie Bishop on the set of the 1934 film. One of several great films by director Edgar G. Ulmer, and along with his 1945 noir classic "Detour," probably his finest achievementan efficient tale in which a young couple with a broken-down automobile land in a decidedly art deco haunted house, where Karloff resides and Lugosi is visiting. Michael Weaver notes: "Boldly thumbing its nose at convention, the film is a veritable catalog of human corruption. Sadism, shades of incest, revenge, murder, torture, voyeurism, Satan worship, ailurophobia, necrophilia, rape, and insanity are weaved into the nearly plotless story with remarkable precision." 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
