DEVIL'S MASK 1946 (BETAMAX TV)

A fun little mystery film based on the "I Love A Mystery" series from Columbia pictures.

A good combination of horror and mystery, this tale involves a plane crash and the authorities finding five shrunken heads. One has red hair and is believed to be an explorer long thought dead.

The explorers daughter, Janet Mitchell (Anita Louise) believes her father was killed outside of the jungle by for more sinister forces. When her butler is killed by a dart from a Jivaro blow-gun she hires some detectives to find out the truth.

There were several of these movies based on the NBC radio show which was very popular at the time. They are fast paced little thrillers and this one clocks in at 65 minutes, but you are never bored.

The cast is made up of Columbie B movie stars including Jim Bannon, Michael Duane, Mona Barrie, Frank Wilcox and John Elliot. If you get a chance you might want to check this out. Film noir fans and horror fans should enjoy it.
