Murders in the Rue Morgue

Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) is a Universal pre-Code horror film loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story. Bela Lugosi, one year after his legendary performance as Dracula, portrays a lunatic scientist who abducts prostitutes and injects them with fresh blood from his vicious caged ape. The atmospheric cinematography by Karl Freund has been singled out by critics as superb, along with Robert Florey's direction. Running time 61 minutes.
