The Invisible Ray





No one considers The Invisible Ray (1936) to be the best of the Bela Lugosi-Boris Karloff teamings.

However, I have a special fondness for this picture. Missing are all the trappings of the Gothic aesthetic, replaced with a streamlined art deco sensibility. It is, in its own odd way, the "cleanest" of the Karloff-Lugosi films.
