Phantom of the Rue Morgue
DirectorRoy Del Ruth
“Mad passions, madder deeds in the Edgar Allan Poe chiller!”
When several women are found mutilated and murdered, the Paris police are baffled as to who the killer may be. All evidence points to Dupin, but soon it becomes apparent that it is someone (or something) stronger and deadlier than a human.
