A FACE IN THE FOG / Victory Pictures Corporation - 1936

It's Friday Frights with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots an early Sam Katzman production, Sam produced 243 movies with titles like EAST SIDE KIDS, BLACK DRAGONS, VOODOO MAN, ATOM MAN vs SUPERMAN, KILLER APE, JUNGLE MOON MEN, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, THE WEREWOLF, EARTH vs THE FLYING SAUCERS, THE GIANT CLAW, THE MAN WHO TURNED TO STONE, THE WIZARD OF BAGHDAD, KISSIN' COUSINS, HOLD ON!, HOT RODS TO HELL and the last one was THE THREE STOOGES FOLLIES in 1974.

Eegah!! sent over a fun lil' soundclip for our listening orifices, sooooo, you can go ahead and push the big red 'GO' button there exactly 157 degrees to the right of center stage left even, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's our wild lil' audio offering of... A FACE IN THE FOG!

The story is basically another OLD DARK HOUSE variation that were so prevalent at the time. Anywho, the cast members of a show at the Alden Theatre are being terrorized by a hunchback killer known as the Fiend. Boo-Wah!!.. He uses his patiented frozen bullets to kill his victims.

Newspaper reporters Jean Monroe and Frank Gordon are on the job...

Accompanied by their wacky photographer, Elmer! Here he is, telling the same old stale 'fish that got away' story!

Here, the Fiend loads up his derringer with special frozen bullets. I had a toy derringer when I was a kid, probably because of YANCY DERRINGER on TV. Had a couple of spud guns too, wow!

We get to see some of the dance numbers at the show with lots of scantily clad performers!

This undercover cop that was posing as a chorus girl gets a dose of frozen death. Hey, that dude's touching his boob!

After a fight with the Fiend, Frank calls Elmer to give him the news, Elmer then faints...

Here's a pic of a note, and one of a pic! You'll have to watch the flick yourself if you want to know how they tie together, you can find it in the NIGHT SCREAMS 50 Movie Pack.

I just love that stuff tacked up on the wall in the background!

Heeeey, wait a minute... Those are frozen bullets, so, you must beeeee!.. (gasp) THE FREAKIN' FIEND!!

That's right, pal, and now yer gonna...

(offscreen) BANG!!

Frank thanks Gott im himmel that dumbass Elmer had enough sense to bring the cops to rescue him!

And, all is revealed at the end as the sun slowly sets in the east!
