This is a lesser known effort, but a very effective one. Ed Nelson stars as Pete, an old man who sells his soul to the devil and he comes back as a much younger man who calls himself Nick Richards.
When he arrives in the small town of Furnace Flats, NM odd things start to happen. There are several killings and some of them have been committed by animals like snakes and horses.
Nick also plans to get rid of David Simpson (Richard Crane) who happens to be engaged to lovely Nell Lucas ( Jean Allison) so he can have her for himself.
It doesn't take long for Nick's plans to become discovered, and then the police and several citizens must stop Nick.
I never saw this film until to late 80's when it was on VHS and it's always remained a favorite. The cast really shines and the music by Ronald Stein is perfect for this kind of a movie.
It was filmed in 1958 but not released until 1961 when Roger Cormans Film Group picked it up. The rest of the cast includes Edgar Buchanan, Byron Foulger, Joe Hooker, and Spencer Carlisle.
