Karloff plays a college professor who tries to communicate with his dead Wife using electrical devices. He leaves the University, and holes up in a delapidated mansion to
continue his experiments. He hires a sinister housekeeper and a deformed servant to help him.
At one point, he has several dead bodies sitting around a table (sort of a "seance"), all wearing metal helmets. A supernatural vortex begins to stir above the table, and the bodies all lean forward into it -- this is REALLY creepy! (btw...the bodies are stolen from graveyards).
His daughter shows up and (of course!) tries to stop her now- demented father from doing these experiments...and, in the end, agrees to "sit in on the 'circle'", with chilling results....
This is a MUST see film! (btw - i HAVE it, and 100's of others!). Norm
