Trailer 8 of 464
The truncated third US release (after earlier tries as "Mania'", then "The Psycho Killers'") of John Gilling's 1960 retelling of the Burke and Hare story that formed the basis for Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher". Cut by a reel and a half and aimed at the lowest of brows, this version ends with Donald Pleasence getting a torch in his face.
Does anyone besides me recall the Westworld tv series ??? It only lasted 3 episodes, what a hunk of junk !. .
oh man!. The Robert Youngson film compilations and the books of William k Everson are what got me interested in silent film in the 60s and early 70s...
The Italian cutr looks beautiful but I sure miss Karloff's voice, that's a big loss. Drip Of Water scared the hell out of me as a kid !.
Mr. DeCoteau, if this was made in '63/'64, Joan was closer to 60...
