Enters Satan's service!"; "Steep Yourself for the iron hand of horror!"; "Karloff turns killer in a horror-crammed thriller!"; a wild story of mad scientist Boris Karloff's wife dying, and he discovers that one of his machines can pick up her brain waves even after her death, and he is therefore convinced that there must a way to communicate with the dead; he finds a medium conducting a seance, and even though she is a fake, Karloff thinks she can help him in his work, and he builds suits that hold dead bodies that kind of look like space suits, and with electricity, he is able to somewhat revive them, but before he can complete his experiments, he is killed) starring Boris Karloff, Richard Fiske, Amanda Duff, Anne Revere, Ralph Penney, Cy Schindell, and Shirley Warde. Note that this movie is mostly forgotten today, but most viewers say it is a really underrated B-horror movie gem, especially thanks to the performances of Karloff and Anne Revere (as the fake medium), and thanks to the really crazy seance sequence at the end with the dead bodies in the weird suits! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in very good to fine condition. The poster had tiny holes at each crossfold and a hole in the vertical foldline and in the black background at the bottom of the "R" in "KARLOFF". There were pinholes in the corners and minor fold wear. Whoever did the linenbacking did a very nice job as the defects are pretty invisible from any distance away. Learn More about condition grades
