The Corpse Vanishes1942

Horror Vault's take

A brilliant but twisted scientist lurks at the fringes of society, targeting young brides on what should be the happiest days of their lives — with grotesque purposes no one around him dares to suspect. When a tenacious female reporter begins connecting the dots between a string of mysterious deaths, she edges ever closer to a dark secret hidden behind closed doors. This lean, atmospheric Poverty Row chiller leans hard on Bela Lugosi's commanding menace and delivers classic early-40s horror with gleeful pulpy energy. It's short, sharp, and unapologetically lurid.
