The difference here is that no motion-picture elements still exist; the last known print was lost in a fire in the mid-'60s. Despite the loss of many hours of footage from London After Midnight, the core action remains available on film. Schmidlin assembled stills and added a musical score by Robert Israel, using a shooting script to recreate the intertitles. This version, which premiered on Turner Classic Movies in 2002, clocks in at 48 minutes, considerably shorter than the film's original running time. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

It's a classy red herring vampire teaser.
