The Horror!? 08: The Phantom Creeps (1939)

or, The Further Adventures of Bela Lugosi, Mad Scientist.
This time around Bela has everything a man could need: a mysterious energy source, diverse coma inducing devices (including a swell metal disc/mechanical spider combination), an invisibility belt, a goofy killer robot, a healing ray, a z-ray, 'splody things, a stupid and treacherous assistant and the most ineffectual government agents this side of Inspector Clouseau on his case. But he still can't win! Oh, that dreaded megalomania strikes again!

Darlings of the Day:
"That man is dead! How fortunate! That simplifies everything."

"One by one my enemies will be disposed of...until I'm master of the universe!"
