EDITOR’S NOTE: Invisible Ghost was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, November 16, 1968 at 1:00 a.m. and Saturday, June 17, 1972 at 1:00 a.m.
Joseph H. Lewis directed low-budget movies, but he made great ones. Gun Crazy, So Dark the Night, this movie…he went above and beyond the money that the movie cost.
Dr. Charles Kessler (Bela Lugosi) is in the middle of a divorce and lives in a lonely home with his daughter, Virginia (Polly Ann Young), and servants. He’s also a killer, which he doesn’t even know, because when he sees his ex-wife (Betty Compson), who has brain damage from a car accident, he goes into a trance. Ralph Dickson (John McGuire), Virginia’s boyfriend, is convicted of the crimes her father committed and is executed.
Kessler is a kindly man, you know, except when he sees that woman who ruined him. I get it, if I saw my ex-wife, I might lose my mind too. Anyways, Ralph has a twin brother, Paul, who shows up, and then Kessler’s wife just walks right ina nd he goes into his murderous hypnosis routine in front of everyone. It’s not his fault.
This is the first of nine movies Lugosi would make for Monogram. There are no ghosts, visible or invisible.
You can watch this on Tubi.
