31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 24: FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE 1959 (MGM)

This easily is one of my top 20 horror films of all time!!

A family curse that states all of the male members of the Drake family will die at the age of 60 seems to be coming true and the bodies are all headless in this fun and somewhat gruesome shocker directed by Edward L. Cahn.

Eduard Franz stars as Jonathan Drake, a man who is trying to discover what is happening to his brother and himself. He believes they are cursed by a centuries old voodoo curse.

Henry Daniell is the very evil and sinister Dr. Emil Zurich, who is much more than he seems, lovely Valerie French is Drake's daughter, Grant Richards is the police Lt. called into the case of bizarre murder and Paul Wexler is Zutai, one of the scariest villians in cinema history with his lips sewn shut and his very sharp tool for cutting off human heads.

Very highly recommended thriller, especially for Halloween.
