The
Corpse Vanishes (1942)
Horror
to make your hair stand on end!
Keeper of the Grotto of Torture!
Bela Lugosi
revels in his role as European horiculturalist Dr. Lorenz
in this outlandish tale of horror and dementia. Dr. Lorenz
aging wife Countess Lorenz needs fluids harvested from the
glands of young virgins in order to retain her eternal youth
and beauty. What better place for the Dr. Lorenz to maintain
his supply of young virgins than at the alter, where her kidnaps
the unsuspecting brides before they can complete their vows.
Sedating
them into a coma-like state with a strong smelling rare flower
corset. Dr. Lorenz then brings the brides to his mansion to
inject the fluids into his wife. Bela Lugosi is at his devilish
best in this film and it is a 1940's B-Movie classic.
