- Synopsis:
Six bone-chilling tales from the vaults of Columbia Pictures, starring a host of the classic horror genre's most celebrated names, including Ralph Bellamy (Lady on a Train), Nina Foch (Escape in the Fog), Rose Hobart (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Jack Holt (Cat People), Boris Karloff (The Criminal Code), Peter Lorre (M), and Fay Wray (Thunderbolt). In 'Behind the Mask' (1932), the dastardly Dr 'X' murders his patients and smuggles narcotics in their coffins. 'Black Moon' (1934) sees a cursed daughter return to the island where her parents perished in a voodoo ceremony. In 'Air Hawks' (1935), pioneering aviators are tormented by rivals operating a horrifying death ray. 'Island of Doomed Men' (1940) sees an undercover agent infiltrating a remote penal colony presided over by a madman. In 'Cry of the Werewolf' (1944), a beautiful female lycanthrope vows to murder those who discover her family's secret. And, for those whose nerves are still intact, 'The Soul of a Monster' (1944) tells the tale of a woman who makes a diabolical deal to save her husband's life. - Actors:
