Im Banne des Unheimlichen (1968)

Im Banne des Unheimlichen: Directed by Alfred Vohrer. With Joachim Fuchsberger, Hubert von Meyerinck, Siw Mattson, Wolfgang Kieling. A serial killer who calls himself “The Laughing Corpse” dresses up in a skeleton costume and kills his victims with a poison-filled scorpion-shaped ring.

“As far as bad movies goes, this one is a gem. Everything, from the killeru0026#39;s skull mask to the cheesy melodrama effects, makes it extremely funny. One extraordinary line shows a mechanism triggering the door to a secret passage opened by. a penny bank! Some wacko characters shows the filmmakers didnu0026#39;t take themselves very seriously. The final explanation doesnu0026#39;t explain anything. But this is a murder mystery far over the edge, on the tradition of u0026quot;Doctor Xu0026quot;.”
