Guest hosts include Jim Towns of the Borgo Pass, as well as Austin T. Hill of @Universalmonstersuniverse. <br/><br/>Ricou Browning was born in 1930. While working as an underwater actor and marine entertainer in 1953, he was hired to escort the makers of the upcoming Creature from the Black Lagoon to a possible filming location in Wakulla Springs, Florida. After witnessing his impressive abilities as a swimmer and cave diver, the 23-year old was hired to portray the Gill-Man in underwater photography for all three films of the Creature trilogy: <em>Creature from the Black Lagoon</em>, <em>Revenge of the Creature</em>, and <em>The Creature Walks Among us</em>. For these roles, the actor would sometimes stay submerged for hours at a time, breathing through an air hose between takes.<br/><br/>Browning parlayed this chance opportunity into a lifelong career that saw him become an underwater stunt coordinator, director and writer. His credits included the James Bond film <em>Thunderball</em>, <em>Hello Down There</em>, <em>Caddyshack </em>and more. He was also the co-creator and underwater director for the beloved television series &quot;Flipper&quot;.<br/><br/>Uncredited in his role as the Creature, Browning would eventually become a beloved figure in the horror community, and his physical portrayal of the character became a touchstone for any underwater creature performer--most notably influencing Doug Jones&apos; amphibian man in Guillermo Del Toro&apos;s <em>The Shape of Water</em>.<br/><br/> At the time of his death on February 27, 2023 at age 93, Ricou Browning was the last living actor to have portrayed a Classic Universal Monster.</p> ]]></description>

The full moon shines on Larry&apos;s body, reviving and transforming him. Larry is found by the police in <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff'>Cardiff</a> later that night, still with the head wound thought to have killed him, and taken to a hospital where he is treated by Dr. Mannering. During the full moon, Larry transforms into the Wolf Man and kills a police constable. The next morning, Larry remembers everything, and implores Mannering to summon police before he kills again. Inspector Owen believes Larry to be an imposter, having confirmed reports of his death, and demands to know his real identity. Larry becomes violently irate, then is overcome by orderlies and bound to his bed with leather straps. Mannering also disbelieves Larry&apos;s identity, thinking him delusional. The doctor and detective travel to the village of Llanwelly to investigate the Talbot tomb, only to find Larry&apos;s body gone, and one of the grave robbers killed in the same manner as the slayings from four years ago.</p><p>Larry transforms and kills a young girl, leading the villagers of Vasaria to raise a mob to chase him down. Fleeing toward the ruins of the Frankenstein castle, Larry falls through the burned-out flooring and into the frozen cellars. Larry returns to human form, and discovers <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein%27s_monster'>Frankenstein&apos;s monster</a> trapped within ice; using a stone, Larry breaks the ice and pulls the creature free, hoping he can show him Frankenstein&apos;s notes. The monster is unable to locate the notes, so Larry poses as a potential buyer of the Frankenstein estate in order to lure out Baroness Elsa Frankenstein, Frankenstein&apos;s daughter. She refuses to assist Larry, but the pair are invited to the &quot;Festival of the New Wine&quot; by the Burgomeister. During the festival, Dr. Mannering arrives, having followed Larry across Europe. He urges Larry to commit himself to a mental institution before he has another spell, but Larry believes he will ultimately escape any institution. The monster crashes the festival and is attacked by the villagers. Larry guides the monster onto a cart and drives him to safety.</p><p>Elsa and Mannering agree to help the villagers kill Frankenstein&apos;s monster. The following morning, Elsa, Mannering, and Maleva meet with Larry and the monster at the ruins. Elsa shows Larry where Frankenstein&apos;s notes are hidden. Mannering studies the notes and learns how to transfer life energy. Larry asks that his life energy be transferred to the monster, believing the laboratory can be repaired for the task. Mannering agrees, but secretly he and Elsa plan to drain both Larry and the monster of life.</p><p>Mannering begins the procedure, but his curiosity to see the monster at full strength compels him to alter the process and fully revive the monster. Horrified, Elsa attempts to stop the machines, and as a result Larry&apos;s life is not fully transferred. The experiment coincides on the night of a full moon, and Larry transforms as the monster regains his strength; both escape their restraints. The monster begins to carry Elsa away, but the Wolf Man attacks him. Vazec, the innkeeper, suspecting Elsa, Mannering, and Maleva of conspiring with Larry and the monster, destroys the dam overlooking the Frankenstein estate with dynamite, hoping to drown all five of them. Elsa escapes from the castle with Mannering, but the Wolf Man and the monster, engaged in their fight, are both swept away in the flood.</p> ]]></description>

When Hutter is eating dinner and accidentally cuts his thumb, Orlok tries to suck the blood out, but his repulsed guest pulls his hand away. Hutter wakes up the morning after to find fresh punctures on his neck, which he attributes to mosquitoes. That night, Orlok signs the documents to purchase the house and notices a photo of Hutter&apos;s wife, Ellen, remarking that she has a &quot;lovely neck.&quot; Reading a book about vampires that he took from the local inn, Hutter starts to suspect that Orlok is a vampire. He cowers in his room as midnight approaches, with no way to bar the door. The door opens by itself and Orlok enters, and Hutter hides under the bed covers and falls unconscious. Meanwhile, his wife awakens from her sleep, and in a trance walks onto her balcony&apos;s railing, which gets his friend Harding&apos;s attention. When the doctor arrives, she shouts Hutter&apos;s name, apparently able to see Orlok in his castle threatening her unconscious husband.</p><p>The next day, Hutter explores the castle, only to retreat back into his room after he finds the coffin in which Orlok is resting dormant in the crypt. Hours later, Orlok piles up coffins on a coach and climbs into the last one before the coach departs, and Hutter rushes home after learning this. The coffins are taken aboard a schooner, where all of the ship&apos;s sailors and captain die and Orlok takes control. When the ship arrives in Wisborg, Orlok leaves unobserved, carrying one of his coffins, and moves into the house he purchased.</p><p>Many deaths in the town follow after Orlok&apos;s arrival, which the town&apos;s doctors blame on an unspecified plague. Ellen reads the book Hutter found, which claims that a vampire can be defeated if a pure-hearted woman distracts the vampire with her beauty. She opens her window to invite Orlok in, but faints. Hutter revives her, and she sends him to fetch Professor Bulwer, a physician. After he leaves, Orlok enters and drinks her blood, but starts as the sun rises, causing Orlok to vanish in a puff of smoke by the sunlight.

Formerly a stone sculptor who did wax modeling as a hobby, he explains he turned to wax sculpting completely because he felt more &quot;satisfied&quot; that he could reproduce &quot;the warmth, flesh, and blood of life far better in wax than in cold stone&quot;. Mr. Galatalin, impressed by his sculptures, offers to submit Igor&apos;s work to the Royal Academy after he returns from a trip to Egypt.</p><p>Unfortunately business at the museum is failing due to people&apos;s attraction to the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macabre'>macabre</a> (a nearby wax museum caters to that). Igor&apos;s partner Joe Worth proposes to burn the museum down for the insurance money of £10,000. Igor will not allow such a travesty, but Worth starts a fire anyway. Igor tries to stop him and he and Worth get into a fight. As they fight, wax masterworks melt around them. Worth knocks Igor unconscious, leaving the sculptor to die in the fire.</p><p>Twelve years later in <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City'>New York City</a>, Igor, who survived the fire, reemerges and opens a new wax museum. His hands and legs have been badly crippled in the fire and he must rely on assistants to create his new sculptures. Meanwhile, spunky reporter Florence Dempsey, on the verge of being fired for not bringing in any worthwhile news, is sent out by her impatient editor, Jim, to investigate the suicide of a model named Joan Gale. During this time, a hideous monster steals the body of Joan Gale from the morgue. When investigators find that her body has been stolen, they suspect murder.

When Charlotte tries to get away, she pounds away at his face, breaking a wax mask that he has made of himself, to reveal that he had been horribly disfigured. He also shows her the dead body of Joe Worth, whom Darcy had been tracking down for some time. When she faints, he straps her onto a table, intending to douse her with molten wax and make her his lost Marie Antoinette sculpture. Florence leads the police to the museum just in time: for a man supposedly crippled by fire, Igor moves with surprising speed and agility, successfully fighting off the police, but is finally gunned down. He falls into the giant vat of molten wax which was intended for Charlotte. Charlotte is saved when Ralph pushes the table to which she is strapped away just before the wax is to pour onto her.</p><p>When Florence reports her story to her editor, Jim, he proposes to her.

An inspection of the mummy by Whemple&apos;s friend Dr. Muller (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Van_Sloan'>Edward Van Sloan</a>) reveals that the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscera'>viscera</a> were not removed, and from the signs of struggling Muller deduces that although Imhotep had been wrapped like a traditional mummy, he had been buried alive. Also buried with Imhotep is a casket with a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_pharaohs'>curse</a> on it. Despite Muller&apos;s warning, Sir Joseph&apos;s assistant Ralph Norton (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramwell_Fletcher'>Bramwell Fletcher</a>) opens it and finds an ancient life-giving <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_Dead'>scroll</a>, the &quot;Scroll of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth'>Thoth</a>&quot;. He translates the symbols and then reads the words aloud. Imhotep rises, the sight of which snaps Norton&apos;s mind and causes him to laugh hysterically as the Mummy shuffles off with the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll'>scroll</a>.</p><p>Ten years later, Imhotep has assimilated into a mysterious Egyptian historian named Ardeth Bey. He calls upon Sir Joseph&apos;s son Frank (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Manners'>David Manners</a>) and Professor Pearson (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Mudie'>Leonard Mudie</a>) and shows them where to dig to find the tomb of the princess Anck-su-namun. After locating the tomb, the archaeologists present its treasures to the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Museum'>Cairo Museum</a>, and Ardeth Bey disappears.</p><p>Ardeth soon encounters Helen Grosvenor (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zita_Johann'>Zita Johann</a>), a half-Egyptian woman bearing a striking resemblance to the princess. He reveals to her that his horrific death was punishment for <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrilege'>sacrilege</a>: attempting to resurrect his forbidden lover, Princess Anck-su-namun. Believing her to be Anck-su-namun&apos;s <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation'>reincarnation</a>, he attempts to kill her, with the intention of mummifying her, resurrecting her, and finally making her his immortal bride. Helen is rescued when she remembers her ancestral past life and prays to the goddess Isis to come to her aid.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1921, an <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology'>archaeological</a> expedition led by Sir Joseph Whemple (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Byron'>Arthur Byron</a>) finds the mummy of an <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt'>ancient Egyptian</a> high priest named <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imhotep_(The_Mummy)'>Imhotep</a> (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Karloff'>Boris Karloff</a>). An inspection of the mummy by Whemple&apos;s friend Dr. Muller (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Van_Sloan'>Edward Van Sloan</a>) reveals that the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscera'>viscera</a> were not removed, and from the signs of struggling Muller deduces that although Imhotep had been wrapped like a traditional mummy, he had been buried alive. Also buried with Imhotep is a casket with a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_pharaohs'>curse</a> on it. Despite Muller&apos;s warning, Sir Joseph&apos;s assistant Ralph Norton (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramwell_Fletcher'>Bramwell Fletcher</a>) opens it and finds an ancient life-giving <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_Dead'>scroll</a>, the &quot;Scroll of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth'>Thoth</a>&quot;. He translates the symbols and then reads the words aloud. Imhotep rises, the sight of which snaps Norton&apos;s mind and causes him to laugh hysterically as the Mummy shuffles off with the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll'>scroll</a>.</p><p>Ten years later, Imhotep has assimilated into a mysterious Egyptian historian named Ardeth Bey. He calls upon Sir Joseph&apos;s son Frank (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Manners'>David Manners</a>) and Professor Pearson (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Mudie'>Leonard Mudie</a>) and shows them where to dig to find the tomb of the princess Anck-su-namun. After locating the tomb, the archaeologists present its treasures to the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Museum'>Cairo Museum</a>, and Ardeth Bey disappears.</p><p>Ardeth soon encounters Helen Grosvenor (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zita_Johann'>Zita Johann</a>), a half-Egyptian woman bearing a striking resemblance to the princess. He reveals to her that his horrific death was punishment for <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrilege'>sacrilege</a>: attempting to resurrect his forbidden lover, Princess Anck-su-namun. Believing her to be Anck-su-namun&apos;s <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation'>reincarnation</a>, he attempts to kill her, with the intention of mummifying her, resurrecting her, and finally making her his immortal bride. Helen is rescued when she remembers her ancestral past life and prays to the goddess Isis to come to her aid. The statue of Isis raises its arm and emits a flash that sets the Scroll of Thoth on fire. This breaks the spell that had given Imhotep his immortality, causing him to crumble to dust. At the urging of Dr. Muller, Frank calls Helen back to the world of the living while the Scroll of Thoth continues to burn.</p> ]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Frank Griffin Jr, the grandson of the original Invisible Man, runs a print shop in <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan'>Manhattan</a> under the assumed name of Frank Raymond (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Hall_(actor)'>Jon Hall</a>). One evening, he is confronted in his shop by four armed men who reveal that they are <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_agents'>foreign agents</a> working for the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_powers'>Axis powers</a> and they know his true identity. One of the men, Conrad Stauffer (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedric_Hardwicke'>Cedric Hardwicke</a>), is a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppenf%C3%BChrer'>lieutenant general</a> of the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel'>S.S.</a>, while a second, Baron Ikito (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lorre'>Peter Lorre</a>), is Japanese. They offer to pay for the invisibility formula and threaten amputation of his fingers if it is not revealed. Griffin manages to escape with the formula. Griffin is reluctant to release the formula to the U.S. government officials, but following the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor'>Attack on Pearl Harbor</a> agrees to limited cooperation (the condition being that the formula can only be used on himself). Later, while in-flight to be parachuted behind German lines on a secret mission, he injects himself with the serum, becoming invisible as he is parachuting down, to the shock and confusion of the German troops tracking his descent, and after landing strips off all of his clothing.</p><p> Despite walking into Stauffer&apos;s trap, Griffin manages to obtain the list of agents, and start a fire to cover his escape. Griffin takes the list of agents to Arnold Schmidt for transmission to England. Conrad Stauffer tries to hide the loss of the list from the prying Baron Ikito, who has been staying at the local Japanese Embassy. When Stauffer refuses to answer Ikito&apos;s questions, the two confess to each other that German and Japanese cooperation is not one of trust. Without revealing their plans to each other, both men start separate hunts for the Invisible Agent.Griffin steals into a German prison to obtain information from Karl Heiser about a planned German attack on New York City. Griffin returns with Heiser to Schmidt, who in the meantime has been arrested and tortured by Stauffer. </p><p>Heiser escapes detection and attempts to save his life and career by phoning in Ikito&apos;s activities to Stauffer. Griffin and Sorensen are taken to the Japanese <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassy'>embassy</a>, but manage to escape during the mayhem that ensues when Stauffer&apos;s men arrive. For their joint failure to safeguard the list of Axis agents, Ikito kills Stauffer and then performs <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku'>seppuku</a>, ritual suicide, as Heiser watches from the shadows. Assuming command, Heiser arrives too late to the local air base to stop Griffin and Sorenson from escaping. The couple acquires one of the bombers slated for the New York attack, and destroy other German planes on the ground as they fly to England. Stauffer&apos;s loyal men catch up with Karl Heiser and he is shot. Griffin succumbs to his injuries before he can radio ahead. England&apos;s air defense shoots down their craft, but not before Sorenson parachutes them to safety. Later, in a hospital, Griffin has recovered and is wearing facial cream so that he can be visible again. Sorenson appears with Griffin&apos;s American handler, who vouches for Sorenson that she has been an Allied double-agent all along. Sorenson is left alone with Griffin. Griffin reveals that he is actually visible under the facial cream, and they kiss. Sorenson happily accepts the challenge of discovering how Griffin regained his visibility.</p> ]]></description>

Griffin is reluctant to release the formula to the U.S. government officials, but following the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor'>Attack on Pearl Harbor</a> agrees to limited cooperation (the condition being that the formula can only be used on himself). Later, while in-flight to be parachuted behind German lines on a secret mission, he injects himself with the serum, becoming invisible as he is parachuting down, to the shock and confusion of the German troops tracking his descent, and after landing strips off all of his clothing.</p><p> Despite walking into Stauffer&apos;s trap, Griffin manages to obtain the list of agents, and start a fire to cover his escape. Griffin takes the list of agents to Arnold Schmidt for transmission to England. Conrad Stauffer tries to hide the loss of the list from the prying Baron Ikito, who has been staying at the local Japanese Embassy. When Stauffer refuses to answer Ikito&apos;s questions, the two confess to each other that German and Japanese cooperation is not one of trust. Without revealing their plans to each other, both men start separate hunts for the Invisible Agent.Griffin steals into a German prison to obtain information from Karl Heiser about a planned German attack on New York City. Griffin returns with Heiser to Schmidt, who in the meantime has been arrested and tortured by Stauffer. </p><p>Heiser escapes detection and attempts to save his life and career by phoning in Ikito&apos;s activities to Stauffer. Griffin and Sorensen are taken to the Japanese <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassy'>embassy</a>, but manage to escape during the mayhem that ensues when Stauffer&apos;s men arrive. For their joint failure to safeguard the list of Axis agents, Ikito kills Stauffer and then performs <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku'>seppuku</a>, ritual suicide, as Heiser watches from the shadows. Assuming command, Heiser arrives too late to the local air base to stop Griffin and Sorenson from escaping. The couple acquires one of the bombers slated for the New York attack, and destroy other German planes on the ground as they fly to England. Stauffer&apos;s loyal men catch up with Karl Heiser and he is shot. Griffin succumbs to his injuries before he can radio ahead. England&apos;s air defense shoots down their craft, but not before Sorenson parachutes them to safety. Later, in a hospital, Griffin has recovered and is wearing facial cream so that he can be visible again. Sorenson appears with Griffin&apos;s American handler, who vouches for Sorenson that she has been an Allied double-agent all along. Sorenson is left alone with Griffin. Griffin reveals that he is actually visible under the facial cream, and they kiss. Sorenson happily accepts the challenge of discovering how Griffin regained his visibility.</p> ]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>A rash of horrific murders has terrorized London and baffled police. Newspaper reporter Bruce Adams finds one murder victim, a prominent doctor, while returning home from a pub. The next day, two American policemen, Slim and Tubby, who are studying London police methods, respond to brawl at a women&apos;s suffrage rally in Hyde Park. Reporter Adams, young suffragette Vicky Edwards, Slim, and Tubby are all caught up in the fray and wind up in jail. Vicky&apos;s guardian, Dr. Henry Jekyll, bails Vicky and Adams out, while Tubby and Slim are kicked off the police force. Unknown to anyone, however, Dr. Jekyll has developed an injectable serum which transforms him into Mr. Hyde -- the &quot;monster&quot; responsible for the recent murders. Dr. Jekyll, who is secretly in love with Vicky, notices Vicky&apos;s and Bruce&apos;s mutual attraction. He injects himself to transform once again into Hyde with the intent of murdering Adams.</p><p>Meanwhile, Tubby and Slim realize that they must capture the monster in order to be reinstated on the police force. Walking down a street at night, Tubby spots Hyde (whom Slim at first mistakes for a burglar) and the boys trail him into a music hall where Vicky is performing and Adams is visiting. A chase ensues, and Tubby manages to trap Hyde inside a cell in a wax museum. However, by the time Tubby brings the police inspector, Adams and Slim to the scene, the monster has reverted to the respected Dr. Jekyll, and Tubby is once again rebuked by the police inspector. The &quot;good&quot; doctor, however, asks Slim and Tubby to escort him to his home. Once at Jekyll&apos;s home, Tubby and Slim snoop around and Tubby drinks a potion which transforms him into a large mouse. Slim and Tubby bring this news to the inspector, but the inspector refuses to believe them.</p><p>Later, Vicky announces to Jekyll her intent to marry Adams, but Jekyll does not share her enthusiasm and transforms into Hyde right in front of her and attacks her. Adams, Slim and Tubby save her in the nick of time, but Hyde escapes. During the struggle, Jekyll&apos;s serum needle falls into a couch cushion, which Tubby accidentally falls onto, transforming him into a Hyde-like monster. Another madcap chase ensues, this time with Adams chasing Jekyll&apos;s monster and Slim pursuing Tubby&apos;s monster, since both believe they are after Jekyll. The police are frustrated and confused by reports of the monster seemingly being in multiple places at once.</p><p>Adams&apos; chase ends up back at Jekyll&apos;s home, where Hyde falls from an upstairs window to his death, then transforms to his true identity. Meanwhile, Slim brings Tubby, who is still in monster form, to the inspector&apos;s office. Tubby bites the inspector and four officers, then reverts to his true self.

    <description><![CDATA[<div>Violinist <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_(The_Phantom_of_the_Opera)'>Erique Claudin</a> is dismissed from the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_Garnier'>Paris Opera House</a> after revealing that he is losing the use of the fingers of his left hand. Unbeknownst to the conductor, who assumes Claudin can support himself, the musician has used all his money to help anonymously fund voice lessons for <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Dubois'>Christine Dubois</a>, a young soprano to whom he is devoted. Meanwhile, Christine is pressured by Inspector Raoul Dubert to quit the Opera and marry him. But famed opera baritone Anatole Garron hopes to win Christine&apos;s heart. Christine considers them both good friends but doesn&apos;t openly express if she loves them.<br/><br/></div><div>In a desperate attempt to earn money, Claudin submits a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_concerto'>piano concerto</a> he has written for publication. After weeks of not hearing a response about his concerto, he becomes worried and returns to the publisher, Maurice Pleyel, to ask about it. Pleyel rudely tells him to leave. Claudin hears his concerto being played in the office and is convinced that Pleyel is trying to steal it; unbeknownst to him, a visiting <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Liszt'>Franz Liszt</a> had been playing and endorsing the concerto. Enraged, Claudin strangles Pleyel. Georgette, the publisher&apos;s assistant, throws etching acid in Claudin’s face, horribly scarring him. Now wanted for murder, Claudin flees into the sewers of the Opera and covers his disfigurement with a prop mask stolen from the Opera house becoming the Phantom.<br/><br/></div><div>After some time, the opera&apos;s owners receive a note demanding that Christine replace Biancarolli. To catch the Phantom, Raoul comes up with a plan: not let Christine sing during a performance of the (fictional) Russian opera <em>Le prince masqué du Caucase</em> (“The Masked Prince of the Caucasus”) to lure the Phantom out into the open. Garron plans to have Liszt play Claudin’s concerto after the performance, but the Phantom strangles one of Raoul&apos;s men and heads to the auditorium&apos;s domed ceiling. He then brings down the large chandelier on the audience, causing chaos. As the audience and the crew flee, The Phantom takes Christine down underground. He tells Christine that he loves her and will now sing all she wants, but only for him.<br/><br/></div><div>Raoul, Anatole, and the police begin pursuing them underground. Just as the Phantom and Christine arrive in his lair, they hear Liszt and the orchestra playing Claudin&apos;s concerto. The Phantom plays along with it on his piano. Christine watches, realizing the concerto was written around the melody of a lullaby she has known since childhood. Raoul and Anatole hear the Phantom playing and follow the sound. Overjoyed, the Phantom urges Christine to sing, which she does. While the Phantom, is distracted by the music, Christine sneaks up and pulls off his mask, revealing his disfigured face. At that same moment, Raoul and Anatole break-in. Claudin grabs a sword to fight them with. Raoul fires his gun at Claudin, but Anatole knocks Raoul&apos;s arm, and the shot hits the ceiling, causing a cave-in. Anatole and Raoul escape with Christine, while Claudin is seemingly crushed to death by the falling rocks.<br/><br/></div><div>Later, Anatole and Raoul demand that Christine choose one of them. She surprises them by choosing to marry neither one of them, instead choosing to pursue her singing career, inspired by Claudin’s devotion to her future. The film ends with Anatole and Raoul going to dinner together.<br/><br/></div> ]]></description>

Christine considers them both good friends but doesn&apos;t openly express if she loves them.<br/><br/></div><div>In a desperate attempt to earn money, Claudin submits a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_concerto'>piano concerto</a> he has written for publication. After weeks of not hearing a response about his concerto, he becomes worried and returns to the publisher, Maurice Pleyel, to ask about it. Pleyel rudely tells him to leave. Claudin hears his concerto being played in the office and is convinced that Pleyel is trying to steal it; unbeknownst to him, a visiting <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Liszt'>Franz Liszt</a> had been playing and endorsing the concerto. Enraged, Claudin strangles Pleyel. Georgette, the publisher&apos;s assistant, throws etching acid in Claudin’s face, horribly scarring him. Now wanted for murder, Claudin flees into the sewers of the Opera and covers his disfigurement with a prop mask stolen from the Opera house becoming the Phantom.<br/><br/></div><div>After some time, the opera&apos;s owners receive a note demanding that Christine replace Biancarolli. To catch the Phantom, Raoul comes up with a plan: not let Christine sing during a performance of the (fictional) Russian opera <em>Le prince masqué du Caucase</em> (“The Masked Prince of the Caucasus”) to lure the Phantom out into the open. Garron plans to have Liszt play Claudin’s concerto after the performance, but the Phantom strangles one of Raoul&apos;s men and heads to the auditorium&apos;s domed ceiling. He then brings down the large chandelier on the audience, causing chaos. As the audience and the crew flee, The Phantom takes Christine down underground. He tells Christine that he loves her and will now sing all she wants, but only for him.<br/><br/></div><div>Raoul, Anatole, and the police begin pursuing them underground. Just as the Phantom and Christine arrive in his lair, they hear Liszt and the orchestra playing Claudin&apos;s concerto. The Phantom plays along with it on his piano. Christine watches, realizing the concerto was written around the melody of a lullaby she has known since childhood. Raoul and Anatole hear the Phantom playing and follow the sound. Overjoyed, the Phantom urges Christine to sing, which she does. While the Phantom, is distracted by the music, Christine sneaks up and pulls off his mask, revealing his disfigured face. At that same moment, Raoul and Anatole break-in. Claudin grabs a sword to fight them with. Raoul fires his gun at Claudin, but Anatole knocks Raoul&apos;s arm, and the shot hits the ceiling, causing a cave-in. Anatole and Raoul escape with Christine, while Claudin is seemingly crushed to death by the falling rocks.<br/><br/></div><div>Later, Anatole and Raoul demand that Christine choose one of them. She surprises them by choosing to marry neither one of them, instead choosing to pursue her singing career, inspired by Claudin’s devotion to her future. The film ends with Anatole and Raoul going to dinner together.<br/><br/></div> ]]></content:encoded>

He has theorized about this being possible for some years, much to his discredit among his fellow scientist-colleagues.

This causes him to glow in the dark and to make his mere touch instantaneous deadly to any living thing. The exposure also begins to warp his mind. Returning to the base camp, he entreats Dr. Benet to devise a means of neutralizing Radium X&apos;s poisoning effect. Benet develops a serum that holds the lethal element&apos;s toxicity at bay, but Rukh must take regular doses of the antidote or he will revert to being a luminous killing machine. Rukh returns to his jungle base and learns from Benet that this situation has been complicated by the romantic relationship between Rukh&apos;s wife, Diana, and Ronald Drake, the nephew of Lady Arabella Stevens, Dr. Stevens&apos; wife.</p><p>Benet takes a piece of the meteorite back to Europe, where he modifies its effects to help people, including curing the blind. Working along similar lines, Rukh cures his mother&apos;s blindness, but in spite of her warning, he goes to Paris to confront Benet and the others. There, he pretends to acknowledge his wife&apos;s new relationship with Drake, but in reality, it is the first step in his plan for revenge. Rukh murders a Frenchman he closely resembles, making it appear that he has died and been rendered unrecognizable due to an accident with Radium X.</p><p>Believing the deception, Diana marries Ronald. Rukh now begins to use his radiation poisoning to kill off the expedition members. He marks each death by disintegrating a single statue on the exterior of a church across from where he is hiding.

Dr. Benet helps them set a trap by convening a scientific conference at his home to discuss Radium X, but Rukh secretly gains access and kills Benet.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Bill Martin, is the proud owner of a small boulder of an island off the coast of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida'>Florida</a> called &quot;Morgan&apos;s Island.&quot; It is a deserted useless rock to Bill, but by pure chance he stumbles across a treasure map pointing to his island. The map is presented to him by a peg-legged old sailor, Tobias Clump, after Bill and his friend &quot;Stuff&quot; Oliver saves the man from drowning. Clump was pushed into the water by a &quot;phantom,&quot; who got away with part of the treasure map. Clump tells them that the map shows the way to infamous buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan&apos;s twenty million dollar treasure. Soon after this, Bill&apos;s cousin George offers to buy the whole island for the amount of $20,000, but Bill isn&apos;t willing to sell. Instead he brings the map to a reputed cartographer named Jasper who claims that the map is fake—it&apos;s a very well-made forgery. Letting go of the thought of the legendary treasure, Bill instead thinks of making some money by starting a &quot;treasure hunt&quot; cruise to his island, for fifty dollars apiece. He involves Stuff in the plans and together they start out for the island to plant a fake treasure for the tourists to find. On their way they are involved in a traffic accident, and by &quot;accident&quot; meet the posh Wendy Creighton and her boy toy, Thurman Coldwater. Since Bill is a little short of money he persuades Wendy to take his treasure cruise.</p><p>The phantom that stole part of the treasure map from Clump reappears and warns Wendy and tells her that she will die if she stays on. She doesn&apos;t take this seriously, but the phantom appears once more, this time in her bedroom at night, and warns her again. Everyone believes that someone is pretending to be the ghost in an effort to scare them all off. A man in a cape kills Rod in front of Arleen, but when she gets back to the rest of the group the private investigator McGoon suspects her of being the killer. Bill suspects Tobias, who is still missing, and a &quot;footprint&quot; from a peg-leg is found near Rod&apos;s body.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bill Martin, is the proud owner of a small boulder of an island off the coast of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida'>Florida</a> called &quot;Morgan&apos;s Island.&quot; It is a deserted useless rock to Bill, but by pure chance he stumbles across a treasure map pointing to his island. The map is presented to him by a peg-legged old sailor, Tobias Clump, after Bill and his friend &quot;Stuff&quot; Oliver saves the man from drowning. Clump was pushed into the water by a &quot;phantom,&quot; who got away with part of the treasure map. Clump tells them that the map shows the way to infamous buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan&apos;s twenty million dollar treasure. Soon after this, Bill&apos;s cousin George offers to buy the whole island for the amount of $20,000, but Bill isn&apos;t willing to sell. Instead he brings the map to a reputed cartographer named Jasper who claims that the map is fake—it&apos;s a very well-made forgery. Letting go of the thought of the legendary treasure, Bill instead thinks of making some money by starting a &quot;treasure hunt&quot; cruise to his island, for fifty dollars apiece. He involves Stuff in the plans and together they start out for the island to plant a fake treasure for the tourists to find. On their way they are involved in a traffic accident, and by &quot;accident&quot; meet the posh Wendy Creighton and her boy toy, Thurman Coldwater. Since Bill is a little short of money he persuades Wendy to take his treasure cruise.</p><p>The phantom that stole part of the treasure map from Clump reappears and warns Wendy and tells her that she will die if she stays on. She doesn&apos;t take this seriously, but the phantom appears once more, this time in her bedroom at night, and warns her again. Everyone believes that someone is pretending to be the ghost in an effort to scare them all off. A man in a cape kills Rod in front of Arleen, but when she gets back to the rest of the group the private investigator McGoon suspects her of being the killer. Bill suspects Tobias, who is still missing, and a &quot;footprint&quot; from a peg-leg is found near Rod&apos;s body. It turns out there is big reward set for the dead gangster, &quot;dead or alive&quot;. Tobias reunites with the group and tells of a key he has found. It is supposed to unlock a torture chamber in the castle, where Sir Henry Morgan&apos;s treasure is hidden. The group enters the chamber but finds only a single gold coin. As they return to the castle&apos;s main hall there is a note on the table saying &quot;nine left&quot;. The cross-bow fires again, but misses Clump by an inch, killing the phantom instead. It turns out the phantom was no other than an old shipmate of Clump&apos;s.

When she and Parker hear screams coming from another room, which Lota calls &quot;the House of Pain,&quot; Parker investigates. He sees Moreau and Moreau&apos;s assistant, Montgomery, operating on a human-like creature without <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthetic'>anesthetic</a>. Convinced that Moreau is engaged in sadistic <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivisection'>vivisection</a>, Parker tries to leave, only to encounter brutish-looking humanoids resembling <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape'>apes</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae'>felines</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine'>swine</a>, and other beasts emerging from the jungle. Moreau appears, cracks his whip, and orders them to recite a series of rules (&quot;the Law&quot;). Afterward, the strange &quot;men&quot; disperse.</p><p>As Parker spends time with Lota, she falls in love with him. Eventually the two kiss, but Parker is then stricken with guilt, since he still loves his fiancée, Ruth Thomas. As Lota hugs him, Parker examines her fingernails, which are reverting to animalistic claws. He storms into the office of Dr. Moreau to confront him for creating Lota. Dr. Moreau explains that Lota is his most nearly human creation, and he wanted to see if she was capable of falling in love with a man and bearing human-themed children. Enraged, Parker punches Moreau to the ground and demands to leave the island. When Moreau realizes Lota is beginning to revert to her panther origin, he first despairs, believing that he has failed—until he notices Lota weeping, showing human emotion. His hopes are raised and he screams that he will &quot;burn out&quot; the remaining animal in her in the House of Pain.</p><p>Meanwhile, the American consul at Apia in Samoa, Parker&apos;s original destination, learns about Parker&apos;s location from the cowed freighter captain. Fiancée Ruth Thomas persuades Captain Donahue to take her to Moreau&apos;s island. She is reunited with Parker, but Moreau persuades them to stay the night. The ape-themed Ouran, one of Moreau&apos;s creations, tries to break into Ruth&apos;s room. She wakes up and screams for help, and Ouran is driven away. Montgomery confronts Moreau, and implies that Ouran&apos;s attempted break-in was arranged by Moreau. Donahue offers to try to reach the ship and fetch his crew. Moreau, seeing him depart, dispatches Ouran to strangle him.</p><p>Learning that Moreau has allowed Ouran to break the Law, the other beast-men no longer feel bound by it. They set their huts ablaze and defy Moreau, who tries and fails to regain control. He demands of them, &quot;What is the Law?&quot; Their response is, &quot;Law no more!&quot; The beast-men drag the doctor into his House of Pain, where they bind him, screaming, to the operating table and assault him with his own surgical knives.</p><p>With help from the disaffected Montgomery, Parker and Ruth make their escape. Parker insists they take Lota along. When Lota sees Ouran following, she waits in ambush. In the ensuing struggle, both are killed. The others escape by boat as the island goes up in flames, presumably destroying Moreau&apos;s work and eradicating the beast-men.</p> ]]></description>

Eighteen years before, Werdegast went to World War I, never seeing his wife again. He has spent the last 15 years in an infamous prison camp in Siberia. On the train, the doctor explains that he is traveling to see an old friend, Hjalmar Poelzig (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Karloff'>Boris Karloff</a>), an Austrian architect.</p><p>Later, the doctor, Peter, and Joan, share a bus, which crashes on a desolate, rain-swept road. Joan is injured, and the doctor and Peter take her to Poelzig&apos;s home, built upon the ruins of Fort Marmorus, which Poelzig commanded during the war. Werdegast treats Joan&apos;s injury, administering the tranquilizing drug <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoscine_hydrobromide'>hyoscine</a>, causing her to behave erratically. While Peter puts her to bed, Werdegast accuses Poelzig of betraying the fort during the war to the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire'>Russians</a>, resulting in the death of thousands of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian'>Austro-Hungarian</a> soldiers. He also accuses Poelzig of stealing his wife Karen while he was in prison. Previously, Werdegast killed Poelzig&apos;s black cat, and Poelzig explains that Werdegast has a strong fear of the animals. Poelzig carries a second black cat around the house with him while he oversees his &quot;collection&quot; of dead women on display in glass cases, including Karen.</p><p>Poelzig plans to sacrifice Joan in a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism'>satanic</a> ritual during the dark of the moon. Poelzig had married Werdegast&apos;s wife, and when she died, he married his daughter (who was told her real father died in prison). He is seen reading a book called <em>The Rites of Lucifer</em> while a beautiful blonde woman (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_Lund'>Lucille Lund</a>) sleeps next to him. The blonde is Werdegast&apos;s daughter – thus, Poelzig&apos;s stepdaughter – also named Karen. Werdegast, who is unaware of his daughter&apos;s presence, bides his time, waiting for the right moment to strike the mad architect. He also tries to persuade his foe to spare Peter and Joan, at one point gambling with their lives by playing a game of chess with Poelzig, which he loses.</p><p>This moment comes during the beginning of the satanists&apos; service, when a female acolyte sees something which causes her to scream and faint. Werdegast and his servant Thamal (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Cording'>Harry Cording</a>) snatch Joan from the sacrificial altar and carry her into the catacombs beneath the house, where Peter is rendered unconscious by Poelzig&apos;s servant. Joan tells Werdegast his daughter is alive in the building somewhere. He discovers that Poelzig has killed his daughter, and in an insane rage, shackles him to an embalming rack, where he proceeds to skin Poelzig alive. Joan tries to tear a key from the dead hand of Poelzig&apos;s servant, and Peter, regaining consciousness, mistakes Werdegast&apos;s attempt to help her as an attack and shoots him.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>In Egypt, Andoheb travels to the Hill of the Seven Jackals in answer to the royal summons of the High Priest of Karnak. The dying priest of the sect explains the story of Kharis to Andoheb, involving the theft of sacred tana leaves that can restore life to the dead Princess Ananka, who Kharis secretly loves. Kharis&apos; penalty upon being discovered is to be buried alive, without a tongue, and the tana leaves are buried with him. During the cycle of the full moon, the fluid from the brew of three tana leaves is to be administered to the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy_(monster)'>creature</a> to keep him alive. Should despoilers enter the tomb of the Princess, a fluid of nine leaves will restore movement to the monster.</p><p>Meanwhile in 1940, down on his luck archaeologist Steve Banning and his sidekick, Babe Jenson, discover the remnants of a broken vase in a Cairo bazaar. Banning is convinced it is an authentic ancient Egyptian relic, and his interpretation of the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs'>hieroglyphs</a> on the piece lead him to believe it contains clues to the location of the Princess Ananka&apos;s tomb. With the support of the eminent Dr. Petrie (Charles Trowbridge) of the Cairo Museum, but against the wishes of Andoheb, who is also employed by the museum, Banning seeks funds for his expedition. Banning and Jenson meet an American magician, Solvani (Cecil Kellaway), who agrees to fund their quest. His daughter Marta is not as convinced, thanks to a prior visit from Andoheb, who brands the two young archeologists as frauds. The expedition departs in search of the Hill of the Seven Jackals, with the Solvanis tagging along. In their explorations, they stumble upon the tomb of Kharis, finding the mummy along with the tana leaves, but find nothing to indicate the existence of Ananka&apos;s tomb. Andoheb appears to Dr. Petrie in the mummy&apos;s cave and has the surprised scientist feel the creature&apos;s pulse. After administering the tana brew from nine leaves, the monster quickly dispatches Petrie and escapes with Andoheb, through a secret passageway, to the temple on the other side of the mountain. The creature continues his periodic marauding about the camp, killing an Egyptian overseer and eventually attacking Solvani and kidnapping Marta. Banning and Jenson set out to track Kharis down, with Jenson going around the mountain and Banning attempting to follow the secret passage they have discovered inside the tomb.</p><p>Andoheb has plans of his own. Enthralled by Marta&apos;s beauty, he plans to inject himself and his captive with tana fluid, making them both immortal. Jenson arrives in the nick of time, and guns down Andoheb outside of the temple, while Banning attempts to rescue the girl. However, Kharis appears on the scene and Banning&apos;s bullets have no effect on the immortal being. Marta overheard Adoheb tell the secret of the tana fluid and tells Banning and Jenson that Kharis must not be allowed to drink any more of the serum. When the creature raises the tana serum to his lips, Jenson shoots the container from his grasp. Dropping to the floor, Kharis attempts to ingest the spilled life-giving liquid. Banning seizes the opportunity to overturn a brazier onto the monster, engulfing it in flames. The ending has the members of the expedition heading happily back to the United States with the mummy of Ananka, and the spoils of her tomb.</p> ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Big-game hunter and wealthy <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoologist'>zoologist</a> Eric Gorman (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Atwill'>Lionel Atwill</a>) is an insanely jealous husband who uses his animal knowledge to dispose of his impulsive wife&apos;s lovers. The film opens in an Indian jungle with Gorman using a needle and thread to sew a colleague&apos;s mouth closed after having discovered that he had kissed his wife, and then he seals the man&apos;s fate by abandoning him in the jungle with the wild beasts. Gorman later pretends to be surprised at hearing that the man had been eaten by tigers. Both Gorman and his wife Evelyn (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Burke'>Kathleen Burke</a>) then return to America aboard a ship packed with captured animals he intends to add to his collection at a major zoo. On the ship, Evelyn has a relationship with Roger Hewitt (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Davis_Lodge'>John Lodge</a>), which she tries to hide from her husband. Naturally, the murderously jealous Gorman finds out. Once back in the States, he begins to plot a way to get rid of Hewitt.</p><p>The zoo is beginning to run into financial trouble and the new press agent, Peter Yates (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ruggles'>Charles Ruggles</a>), a man terrified of most of the zoo&apos;s animals and considered to be an alcoholic, suggests hosting a fundraising dinner for the rich to raise funds and awareness. The last straw is when Gorman finds his wife at Hewitt&apos;s apartment where they have been plotting their escape and her divorce. Gorman invites Hewitt to the dinner and uses it as the perfect opportunity to dispense his vengeance by poisoning Hewitt with <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamba'>mamba</a> venom. He had obtained the poison after asking the zoo&apos;s laboratory doctor, Jack Woodford (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_Scott'>Randolph Scott</a>), to work on finding an <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitoxin'>antitoxin</a> for the snake&apos;s fatal bite.</p><p>When Hewitt unexpectedly dies at the fundraising dinner, Evelyn accuses her husband of being the murderer. Outraged, Gorman attacks her, but she is able to escape into his office where she finds a mechanical mamba head seeping with real mamba poison in his desk. She now knows for a fact that he killed Hewitt and takes the snake head with the intention to find Dr. Woodford. However, Gorman finds his wife, swears he did everything because he loves her, and prevents her from revealing his crime by throwing her to the alligators, where she is torn to shreds.</p><p>Dr. Woodford then becomes suspicious and accuses Gorman of murdering both his wife and Rodger Hewitt. Gorman disposes of Dr. Woodford by attacking him with the mechanical snake head just as he had done to Hewitt. The doctor&apos;s assistant Jerry (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Patrick'>Gail Patrick</a>) gives Woodford a shot of the antitoxin he had created for the mamba poison in time to save his life. She also realizes that Gorman is responsible for the apparent mamba attack when he tries to stop her, and has the zoo&apos;s alarms set off.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Big-game hunter and wealthy <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoologist'>zoologist</a> Eric Gorman (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Atwill'>Lionel Atwill</a>) is an insanely jealous husband who uses his animal knowledge to dispose of his impulsive wife&apos;s lovers. The film opens in an Indian jungle with Gorman using a needle and thread to sew a colleague&apos;s mouth closed after having discovered that he had kissed his wife, and then he seals the man&apos;s fate by abandoning him in the jungle with the wild beasts. Gorman later pretends to be surprised at hearing that the man had been eaten by tigers. Both Gorman and his wife Evelyn (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Burke'>Kathleen Burke</a>) then return to America aboard a ship packed with captured animals he intends to add to his collection at a major zoo. On the ship, Evelyn has a relationship with Roger Hewitt (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Davis_Lodge'>John Lodge</a>), which she tries to hide from her husband. Naturally, the murderously jealous Gorman finds out. Once back in the States, he begins to plot a way to get rid of Hewitt.</p><p>The zoo is beginning to run into financial trouble and the new press agent, Peter Yates (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ruggles'>Charles Ruggles</a>), a man terrified of most of the zoo&apos;s animals and considered to be an alcoholic, suggests hosting a fundraising dinner for the rich to raise funds and awareness. The last straw is when Gorman finds his wife at Hewitt&apos;s apartment where they have been plotting their escape and her divorce. Gorman invites Hewitt to the dinner and uses it as the perfect opportunity to dispense his vengeance by poisoning Hewitt with <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamba'>mamba</a> venom. He had obtained the poison after asking the zoo&apos;s laboratory doctor, Jack Woodford (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_Scott'>Randolph Scott</a>), to work on finding an <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitoxin'>antitoxin</a> for the snake&apos;s fatal bite.</p><p>When Hewitt unexpectedly dies at the fundraising dinner, Evelyn accuses her husband of being the murderer. Outraged, Gorman attacks her, but she is able to escape into his office where she finds a mechanical mamba head seeping with real mamba poison in his desk. She now knows for a fact that he killed Hewitt and takes the snake head with the intention to find Dr. Woodford. However, Gorman finds his wife, swears he did everything because he loves her, and prevents her from revealing his crime by throwing her to the alligators, where she is torn to shreds.</p><p>Dr. Woodford then becomes suspicious and accuses Gorman of murdering both his wife and Rodger Hewitt. Gorman disposes of Dr. Woodford by attacking him with the mechanical snake head just as he had done to Hewitt. The doctor&apos;s assistant Jerry (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Patrick'>Gail Patrick</a>) gives Woodford a shot of the antitoxin he had created for the mamba poison in time to save his life. She also realizes that Gorman is responsible for the apparent mamba attack when he tries to stop her, and has the zoo&apos;s alarms set off. A police chase ensues as Gorman is pursued through the zoo. Gorman releases big cats from the carnivore house in the hopes of keep back the police, but it backfires and a group of them chases Gorman, and forces him into the cage of a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boa_constrictor'>boa constrictor</a>, who then slowly kills and devours him.</p><p><br/></p> ]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Wilfred Glendon (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hull'>Henry Hull</a>) is a wealthy and world-renowned English botanist who journeys to Tibet in search of the extremely rare <a href='https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/selenotropism'>selenotropic</a> plant known as <em>mariphasa lupine lumina</em>. While there, he is attacked and bitten by a creature later revealed to be a werewolf, although he succeeds in acquiring a specimen of the mariphasa. Once back home in London he is approached by a fellow botanist, Dr. Yogami (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Oland'>Warner Oland</a>), who claims to have met him in Tibet while also seeking the mariphasa. Yogami warns Glendon that the bite of a werewolf would cause him to become a werewolf as well, adding that the mariphasa is a temporary antidote for the disease.</p><p>Glendon does not believe the mysterious Yogami. That is, not until he begins to experience the first pangs of lycanthropy, first when his hand grows fur beneath the rays of his moon lamp (which he is using in an effort to entice the mariphasa to bloom), and later that night during the first full moon. The first time, Glendon is able to use a blossom from the mariphasa to stop his transformation. His wife Lisa (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Hobson'>Valerie Hobson</a>) is away at her aunt Ettie&apos;s party with her friend, former childhood sweetheart Paul Ames (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Matthews'>Lester Matthews</a>), allowing the swiftly transforming Glendon to make his way unhindered to his at-home laboratory, in the hopes of acquiring the mariphasa&apos;s flowers to quell his lycanthropy a second time. Unfortunately Dr. Yogami, who is revealed to be a werewolf, sneaks into the lab ahead of his rival and steals the only two blossoms. As the third has not bloomed, Glendon is out of luck.</p><p>Driven by an instinctive desire to hunt and kill, he dons his hat and coat and ventures out into the dark city, killing an innocent girl. Burdened by remorse, Glendon begins neglecting Lisa (more so than usual), and makes numerous futile attempts to lock himself up far away from home, including renting a room at an inn. However, whenever he transforms into the werewolf he escapes and kills again. After a time, the third blossom of the mariphasa finally blooms, but much to Glendon&apos;s horror, it is stolen by Yogami, sneaking into the lab while Glendon&apos;s back is turned. Catching Yogami in the act, Glendon finally realizes that Yogami was the werewolf that attacked him in Tibet. After turning into the werewolf yet again and slaying Yogami, Glendon goes to the house in search of Lisa, for the werewolf instinctively seeks to destroy that which it loves the most.</p><p>After attacking Paul on the front lawn of Glendon Manor, but not killing him, Glendon breaks into the house and corners Lisa on the staircase and is about to move in for the kill when Paul&apos;s uncle, Col. Sir Thomas Forsythe (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Grant'>Lawrence Grant</a>) of Scotland Yard, arriving with several police officers in tow, shoots Glendon once. As he lies dying at the bottom of the stairs, Glendon, still in werewolf form, speaks: first to thank Col. Forsythe for the merciful bullet, then saying goodbye to Lisa, apologizing that he could not have made her happier. Glendon then dies, reverting to his human form in death.</p> ]]></description>

Instead of hiring a lawyer, he enlists the aid of a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Garth (Kruger), who was once one of his star students.</p><p>Sergeant Wilkes leaves the Whitby gaol to meet an officer from Scotland Yard at the train station. Meanwhile, Dracula&apos;s daughter, Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden), enters the gaol and mesmerises Albert with her jewelled ring and with the aid of her manservant, Sandor (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Pichel'>Irving Pichel</a>), steals Dracula&apos;s body from the Whitby gaol, and after tossing salt on the pyre, ritualistically burns Dracula&apos;s body, hoping to break her curse of vampirism. However, Sandor soon begins to discourage her, telling her that all that is in her eyes is &quot;death&quot;. She soon gives in to her thirst for blood. The Countess resumes her hunting, mesmerising her victims with her exotic jewelled ring. After a chance meeting with Dr. Garth at a society party, the Countess asks him to help her overcome the influence she feels from beyond the grave. The doctor advises her to defeat her cravings by confronting them, and the Countess becomes hopeful that her will, plus Dr. Garth&apos;s science, will be strong enough to overcome Dracula&apos;s malevolence.</p><p>The Countess sends Sandor to fetch her a model to paint.

Sandor promises her food, warmth, and money. She hesitates, but Sandor explains that he seeks her for his mistress. Lili returns with Sandor. Countess Zaleska initially resists her urges, but succumbs and attacks her. Lili survives the attack and is examined by Dr. Garth through hypnosis; she reveals enough information to let Dr. Garth know that Countess Zaleska was who attacked her, but she suffers heart failure and dies. The Countess gives up fighting her urges and accepts that a cure is not possible; she lures Dr. Garth to Transylvania by kidnapping Janet Blake (Marguerite Churchill), his secretary, with whom he has a playfully antagonistic relationship, but now realises that he cares for her.

Edelmann and his assistant Milizia have him transferred to the castle the next morning. Edelmann tells him that he believes that Talbot&apos;s transformations are not triggered by the moonlight, but by pressure on the brain, and believes he can relieve the pressure and asks Talbot to wait while he gathers more spores from a plant he believes can cure him. Despondent by the thought of becoming the Wolf Man again, Talbot attempts suicide by jumping into the ocean, only to end up in a cave below the castle.</p><p>Edelmann searches for Talbot in the cave where they find the catatonic Frankenstein&apos;s monster, still clutching the skeleton of Dr. Niemann. Humidity in the cave is perfect for propagating the clavaria formosa, and a natural tunnel in the cave connects to a basement of the castle. Dr. Edelmann takes the monster back to his lab, but considers it too dangerous to revive him. Meanwhile, The Count tries to seduce Milizia and make her a vampire, but Milizia wards him off with a cross. Edelmann interrupts to explain that he has found strange antibodies in the Count&apos;s blood, requiring another transfusion. Edelmann&apos;s assistant Nina begins shadowing Milizia and discovers that the Count casts no reflection in a mirror. She warns Edelmann of the vampire&apos;s danger to Milizia. Edelmann prepares a transfusion that will destroy the vampire. During the procedure, The Count uses his hypnotic powers to put Edelmann and Nina to sleep and reverses the flow of the transfusion, sending his own blood into the doctor&apos;s veins. When they awake, The Count is carrying Milizia away. They revive Talbot and force the Count away with a cross who returns to his coffin as the sun is beginning to rise. Edelmann follows him and drags the open coffin into the sunlight, destroying him.</p><p>Edelmann begins to react to Dracula&apos;s blood and finds that he no longer casts a reflection in a mirror. Falling unconscious, he sees strange visions of a monstrous version of himself performing unspeakable acts. Edelmann awakens, and tries to perform the operation on Talbot. Edelmann begins leaping into a more monstrous personality, and murders his gardener. When the townspeople discover the body, they chase Edelmann, believing him to be Talbot. They follow him to the castle, where Holtz and Steinmuhl interrogate Talbot and Edelmann. Steinmuhl is convinced that Edelmann is the murderer, and assembles a mob to execute him. Talbot is cured by the operation, but Edelmann again turns into his mostrous self. Edelman revives Frankenstein&apos;s monster, with the others witnessing Edelmann&apos;s transformation, and Edelmann breaks Nina&apos;s neck and tosses her body into the cave. Holtz and Steinmuhl lead the townspeople to the castle where the police attack the monster, but are subdued by the creature. Edelmann kills Holtz by accidental electrocution and Talbot shoots Edelmann dead. Talbot traps the monster under fallen shelving as a fire breaks out, and the townspeople flee the burning castle.

Dorothy is staying at Walters’ Crestview Sanatorium for treatment. Fred and Beth arrive at the winter quarters, and Dr. Walters pays a visit. He is extremely interested in Cheela, and inquires about purchasing her. Whipple tells him that she is not for sale. Upon returning to his lab, Walters finds that his latest experiment has resulted in the lab animal&apos;s death. He becomes convinced he needs larger animals that possess the “will to live.” Walters enlists the aid of a disgruntled former circus employee to steal Cheela. After the ape is loaded onto his truck, the scientist callously pushes the man into the gorilla&apos;s grasp and stolidly watches as the beast wrings his neck.</p><p>Back at his lab, Walters and his assistant Miss Strand (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Helm'>Fay Helm</a>) transplant glandular material from Dorothy into Cheela. There was discussion by Miss Strand that Walters has previously grafted the glands of different animals like placing a guinea pig&apos;s glands into a rabbit and a frog&apos;s glands into a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse'>mouse</a>. To the horror of the nurse, the ape transforms into human form (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquanetta'>Acquanetta</a>). Telling the doctor that she cannot allow him to continue, Miss Strand informs him that at best he will have “a human form, with animal instincts.” Dr. Walters reaches the conclusion that he will need to place a human brain into his creation to successfully complete his experiment. While watching Mason practice his animal act, an accident occurs. Paula rushes into the cage and saves him from the ferocious felines, who display an unnatural fear of her and retreat from her presence. Mason is dumbfounded and offers the girl a job in his act.</p><p>Beth receives a frantic telephone call from her sister who expresses her fear of Dr. Walters and the forthcoming operation. Arriving at the Sanatorium to aid her sister, Beth is pegged by the good doctor as the next brain donor for Cheela. However, she proves resourceful in a pinch, releasing the ape from its cage. Cheela does Walters in and departs the lab, leaving Beth and Dorothy unharmed. Performing his animal act solo, Mason finds himself trapped inside the cage with his unruly subjects. A powerful storm interrupts the performance and the beasts attack the trainer. Cheela comes to his rescue once again and carries him to safety.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On a snowy night, a stranger with his face swathed in bandages and his eyes obscured by dark goggles, takes a room at The Lion&apos;s Head Inn in the English village of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iping'>Iping</a> in <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sussex'>Sussex</a>. The man demands that he be left alone. Later, the innkeeper, Mr. Hall, is sent by his wife to evict the stranger after the stranger has made a huge mess in his room while doing research and has fallen behind in his rent. Angered, the stranger throws Mr. Hall down the stairs. Confronted by a policeman and some local villagers, he removes his bandages and goggles, revealing that he is invisible. Laughing maniacally, he takes off his clothes, making himself completely undetectable, and drives off his tormenters before fleeing into the countryside.</p><p>The stranger is Dr. Jack Griffin, a chemist who discovered the secret of invisibility while conducting a series of tests involving an obscure drug called monocane. Flora Cranley, Griffin&apos;s fiancée and the daughter of Griffin&apos;s employer, Dr. Cranley, becomes distraught over Griffin&apos;s long absence. Cranley and his other assistant, Dr. Kemp, search Griffin&apos;s empty laboratory, finding only a single note in a cupboard. Cranley becomes concerned when he reads it. On the note is a list of chemicals, including monocane, which Cranley knows is extremely dangerous; an injection of it drove a dog mad in Germany. Griffin, it seems, is unaware of this. Cranley deduces that he may have learned about monocane in English books printed before the incident that describe only its <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach'>bleaching</a> power.</p><p>On the evening of his escape from the inn, Griffin turns up at Kemp&apos;s home. He forces Kemp to become his visible partner in a plot to dominate the world through a reign of terror, commencing with &quot;a few murders here and there.&quot; They drive back to the inn to retrieve his notebooks on the invisibility process. Sneaking inside, Griffin finds a police inquiry underway, conducted by an official who believes that it is all a hoax. After securing his books, Griffin angrily attacks and kills the officer.</p><p>Back home, Kemp calls first Cranley, asking for help, and then the police. Flora persuades her father to let her come along. In her presence, Griffin becomes more placid and calls her &quot;darling.&quot; When he realizes that Kemp has betrayed him, his first reaction is to get Flora away from danger. After promising Kemp that at 10 o&apos;clock the next night he will murder him, Griffin escapes and goes on a killing spree. He causes the <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailment'>derailment</a> of a train, resulting in a hundred deaths, and throws two volunteer searchers off a cliff. The police offer a reward for anyone who can think of a way to catch him.</p><p>The chief detective in charge of the search uses Kemp as bait, feeling that Griffin will try to fulfill his promise, and devises various clever traps. At Kemp&apos;s insistence, the police disguise him in a police uniform and let him drive his car away from his house. Griffin, however, is hiding in the back seat of the car. He overpowers Kemp and ties him up in the front seat. Griffin then sends the car down a steep hill and over a cliff, where it explodes on impact.</p><p>Griffin seeks shelter from a snowstorm in a barn. A farmer hears snoring and sees the hay, in which Griffin is sleeping, moving. The man notifies the police. The police surround the building and set fire to the barn. When Griffin comes out, the chief detective sees his footprints in the snow and opens fire, mortally wounding him. Griffin is taken to the hospital where, on his deathbed, he admits to Flora that &quot;I meddled in things that man must leave alone.&quot; As he dies, his body gradually becomes visible again. -Wikipedia</p> ]]></description>

The local village people fear that vampires inhabit the castle and warn Renfield not to go there. Renfield refuses to stay at the inn and asks his carriage driver to take him to the Borgo Pass. Renfield is driven to the castle by Dracula&apos;s coach, with Dracula disguised as the driver. En route, Renfield sticks his head out the window to ask the driver to slow down but sees the driver has disappeared; a bat leads the horses.</p><p>Renfield enters the castle welcomed by the charming but eccentric Count, who, unbeknownst to Renfield, is a vampire. They discuss Dracula&apos;s intention to lease Carfax Abbey in London, where he intends to travel the next day. Dracula hypnotizes Renfield into opening a window. Renfield faints as a bat appears, and Dracula&apos;s three wives close in on him. Dracula waves them away, then attacks Renfield himself.</p><p>At a London theatre, Dracula meets Seward. Seward introduces his daughter Mina, her fiancé John Harker, and the family friend Lucy Weston. Lucy is fascinated by Count Dracula. That night, Dracula enters her room and feasts on her blood while she sleeps. Lucy dies the next day after a string of transfusions.</p><p>Renfield is obsessed with eating flies and spiders. Professor Van Helsing analyzes Renfield&apos;s blood and discovers his obsession. He starts talking about vampires, and that afternoon Renfield begs Seward to send him away, claiming his nightly cries may disturb Mina&apos;s dreams. When Dracula calls Renfield with a wolf howling, Renfield is disturbed by Van Helsing, showing him wolfsbane, which Van Helsing says is used for protection from vampires.</p><p>Dracula visits Mina, asleep in her bedroom, and bites her. The next evening, Dracula enters for a visit, and Van Helsing and Harker notice that he does not have a reflection. When Van Helsing reveals this to Dracula, he smashes the mirror and leaves. Van Helsing deduces that Dracula is the vampire behind the recent tragedies.</p><p>Mina leaves her room and runs to Dracula in the garden, where he attacks her. The maid finds her. Newspapers report that a woman in white is luring children from the park and biting them. Mina recognizes the lady as Lucy, risen as a vampire. Harker wants to take Mina to London for safety but is convinced to leave Mina with Van Helsing. Van Helsing orders Nurse Briggs to take care of Mina when she sleeps and not to remove the wreath of wolfsbane from her neck.</p><p>Renfield escapes from his cell and listens to the men to discuss vampires. Before his attendant takes Renfield back to his cell, Renfield relates to them how Dracula convinced Renfield to allow him to enter the sanitorium by promising him thousands of rats with blood and life in them. Dracula enters the Seward parlor and talks with Van Helsing. Dracula states that Mina now belongs to him and warns Van Helsing to return to his home country. Van Helsing swears to excavate Carfax Abbey and destroy Dracula. Dracula attempts to hypnotize Van Helsing, but the latter&apos;s resolve proves stronger. As Dracula lunges at Van Helsing, he withdraws a crucifix from his coat, forcing Dracula to retreat.</p><p>Dracula hypnotizes Briggs into removing the wolfsbane from Mina&apos;s neck and opening the windows. Van Helsing and Harker see Renfield heading for Carfax Abbey. They see Dracula with Mina in the abbey. When Harker shouts to Mina, Dracula thinks Renfield has led them there and kills him. Dracula is hunted by Van Helsing and Harker, who know that Dracula is forced to sleep in his coffin during daylight, and the sun is rising.
