MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE 1932 (UNIVERSAL)

Once seen..not soon forgotten.

Bela Lugosi is Dr. Mirakle, a mad scientist who abducts young women and tries to prove ape-human kinship by injecting them with the blood of apes.

Lugosi is perfect in the role and Leon Ames is the man who tries to stop him after he kidnaps Ames' girlfriend played by Sidney Fox. There are a lot of disturbing images in this film such as Lugosi and his lusting looks directed at Fox, the ape carrying off a victim and Lugosi torturing a prostitute in his lab.

Good stuff for horror fans and one that I Highly Recommend.
