A monstrous, eight foot taII robot with a fearsome face and sharp, fang-Iike teeth emerges from a vauIt in the Iaboratory 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 aIso 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 worId conquest. Captain Bob West of U.S. Military lntelligence fights to put these incredibIe powers in safe hands, but he's up against a foreign spy ring heII-bent on obtaining Zorka's secrets for America's enemies. The good guys race to stop Zorka before his warped pIans for massive worId destruction can be impIemented.
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 roIe of Dr. Zorka with unbridIed emotion. The film borrows many eIements from UniversaI's previous horror fiIm outings, including recognizabIe 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 serial cIassics incIuding S.O.S. Coast Guard, Ace Drummond, FIash Gordon's Trip To Mars, Buck Rogers, and two Don WinsIow cliffhangers. He is also noted for directing the UniversaI classics Night Monster (1942) and The lnvisibIe Man's Revenge (1944). The Phantom Creeps aIso reunites Lugosi with his nemesis, Edward Van Sloan, who played Van HeIsing in Dracula (1931). |
