    Bela Lugosi is driven murderously insane by the memory of his unfaithful wife. Typically ridiculous Monogram script in which corpses briefly return to life and no explanation if offered for Lugosi's dementia, but otherwise well made and fun for Lugosi fans.

    I really liked this story, it's what can happen, anytime. Bela Lugosi :)

    Bela Lugosi plays a man who strangles the guests of his house whenever he sees his dead wife outside of the window.
    Not awful but, nothing really worth seeing in this one.

    I feel sorry for the killer! It's not fair! Evans is a cool character.

    Good film, interesting story.

    This one is still a 'whodunnit' but the difference is you know who did it... and you are watching the others guess who it is. Not as much fun as being able to guess for yourself but still a classic

    I just watched this with my friend today and it was sooo cheesy that we had so much fun making up our own lines for it. Bela Lugosi is never NOT creepy.

    Bela does some great work here. 3/4 through the movie some of the best hand acting in the genre. Who could the seriel killer be?
