SYNOPSIS:From the Universal Studios vaults come five digitally remastered horror classics featuring madmen, fiends, murder and mayhem, many never released to home video. These often overlooked cult titles represent Universal doing what they did best in the 30's and 40's – creating atmospheric and chilling B-Movie entertainment from a studio synonymous with horror cinema. This collection is in partnership with TCM.
Murders in the Zoo (1933)
A demented zoologist dispenses of his amorous wife's lovers in a number of unsettling ways in this grisly and perverse Pre-Code horror thriller that was quite shocking for its time. The movie is dominated by Lionel Atwill's superb performance as the sadistic zoo owner and features stunning cinematography by seven-time Oscar nominee Ernest Haller. Charlie Ruggles, Randolph Scott, and Gail Patrick co-star.

The Mad Doctor of Market Street (1942)
When his experiments with keeping humans in suspended animation go awry, a San Francisco-based mad scientist goes on the run from the cops and continues his bizarre scientific pursuits on a remote tropical island where the natives are restless indeed. An ideal showcase for horror star Lionel Atwill, The Mad Doctor of Market Street is also notable as an early effort by cult director Joseph H. Lewis (The Big Combo, 1955).

The Strange Case of Dr. RX (1942)
A mysterious vigilante known as "Dr. Rx" strikes again, leaving his calling card behind as evidence. All of his victims have been crooks who have escaped prosecution through legal loopholes and the baffling crimes involve death by strangulation and a possible attempt to implant a gorilla's brain into a human body. An offbeat comedy-horror film starring Lionel Atwill, veteran of such macabre classics as Doctor X (1932) and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), and featuring Shemp Howard as a bumbling police sergeant. Patric Knowles co-stars.

The Mad Ghoul (1943)
When Dr. Morris experiments with a poisonous gas first used by the ancient Mayans in their sacrificial rites, he discovers that it produces a "death in life" state in the subject. It also has severe, irreversible side effects of advanced decomposition that can only be temporarily halted by a potent mixture of herbs and fresh human hearts. Guess who can't wait to test it on his unsuspecting lab assistant Ted? Grave-robbing, corpse desecration, murder and total madness follow. A visually stylish horror film with a quintessential mad doctor performance by George Zucco and memorable roles for David Bruce as the title character and forties "Scream Queen" Evelyn Ankers.

House of Horrors (1946)
In this eerie thriller, an unsuccessful Greenwich Village sculptor saves a hideous serial killer from drowning and then uses him as an instrument of revenge against his enemies. House of Horrors is an atmospheric B-movie delight with familiar screen heavy Martin Kosleck (The Flesh Eaters, 1964) as the demented Marcel and Rondo Hatton, an actor who needed no makeup, as "The Creeper."
