A spate of horror films from Universal studies produced a handful of rather good entries that would give Hammer Horror a run for their money. 'The Mad Ghoul' was one such movie, nerve wracking, strange and downright eerie. Dr Morris is curious about the effects of nerve gas which he learned was used in ancient rituals of dissecting bodies. A young student of his named Ted offers to help him test his theories and experiment on animals. Ted's mind is not completely on his work however, and is instead taken up with his beautiful girlfriend Isabel. Isabel is not as enamoured with Ted as he would like to think sadly, and confides in Dr Morris that the relationship is going sour. After this intense heart-to-heart talk, Dr Morris realises he has fallen for Isabel, and finds Ted might be the only solution.
Creepy film! Worth a watch.
