Maniacal Mayhem (Limited Edition, Region B) w/SLIP
Three more tales of terror from the vaults of Universal Pictures, all starring the iconic Boris Karloff.
Boris Karloff and BĆ©la Lugosi both star InĀ The Invisible RayĀ (dir. Lambert Hillyer, 1936), which sees Dr Janos Rukh (Karloff) exposed to a mysterious element that turns him into a deadly luminescent maniac who devises a plot to bump off his personal and professional rivals.
Then, inĀ Black FridayĀ (dir. Arthur Lubin, 1940), Karloff is the amoral brain surgeon, Dr Sovac, who transplants part of a gangsters brain into the body of his dying friend, creating a terrifying Jekyll-and-Hyde figure who starts murdering his former criminal associates (including, again, the wonderful BĆ©la Lugosi).
Finally, the incomparable Charles Laughton plays the sadistic Sire Alain de Maletroit inĀ The Strange DoorĀ (dir. Joseph Pevney, 1951). Maletroit has kept his own brother locked in a dungeon for twenty years, and now wants to ruin the life of his niece by forcing her to marry a violent rogue. His plan is upset when the ārogueā is unexpectedly noble-hearted and attempts to rescue the girl, aided by an abused servant (Karloff).
On Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.
