Horrors of the Black Museum (1959)

Starring: Michael Gough
Director: Arthur Crabtree

Premise:
A journalist wants accurate account of murders for his writing. So he hypnotizes his assistant to commit the acts in order to get the details.

My Take:
A decent flick with a shaky plot that never quite answers the questions it raises. At least Michael Gough effortlessly chews up scenery.

Rating: In the middle
