A monstrous, eight foot tall robot with a fearsome face and sharp, fang-Iike teeth emerges from a vault in the laboratory of the mad Dr. AIex Zorka. The insane scientist hopes to create an army of such monsters in his bid to conquer the world. He's also developed an invisibility ray, discovered a deadIy new eIement from outer space and mastered the secret of suspended animation. The U.S. government would Iike to take controI of Zorka's scientific breakthroughs, but the scientist is more interested in vengeance and world conquest. Captain Bob West of U.S. MiIitary InteIIigence fights to put these incredible powers in safe hands, but he's up against a foreign spy ring hell-bent on obtaining Zorka's secrets for America's enemies. The good guys race to stop Zorka before his warped plans for massive world destruction can be implemented.
The Phantom Creeps was compiIed from episodes of the 12-chapter Universal seriaI of the same name. BeIa Lugosi was at his performing peak, pIaying the role of Dr. Zorka with unbridled emotion. The film borrows many eIements from UniversaI's previous horror film outings, including recognizable sets and music cues Iifted from Frankenstein movies and scenes from Lugosi's earlier film, The lnvisible Ray. The Phantom Creeps was directed by Ford Beebe and action editor Saul Goodkind. Beebe heImed many other seriaI cIassics incIuding S.O.S. Coast Guard, Ace Drummond, FIash Gordon's Trip To Mars, Buck Rogers, and two Don WinsIow cIiffhangers. He is also noted for directing the UniversaI classics Night Monster (1942) and The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944). The Phantom Creeps aIso reunites Lugosi with his nemesis, Edward Van SIoan, who pIayed Van HeIsing in Dracula (1931). |
