John Carradine stars as a scientist who is conducting experiments to bring back the dead. His subjects usually turn a white marble color and then die shortly afterwards.
He is so engrossed in his work that he fails to notice that his wife really likes his young assistant played by Robert Shayne. This film has a few bizarre images in it as well as some voodoo from Carradine's housekeeper, who tries to use black magic to destroy his life.
William Beaudine directed this film, and did it very quickly. It isn't bad for a very, very low budget Monogram film. All the actors do their parts well making this a good bet for some innocent Halloween horror. This is on the collection Movies 4 You: Timeless Horror which also includes "Four Skulls Of Jonathan Drake", "Snake Woman", and "I Bury The Living". The print was struck from an old tape master I believe and doesn't look as good as the other movies on the set, but who would complain? It's just nice to have films like this put on DVD.
