Description

The
truncated third US release (after earlier tries as "Mania'",
then "The Psycho Killers'") of John Gilling's 1960
retelling of the Burke and Hare story that formed the basis for
Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher". Cut by a reel
and a half and aimed at the lowest of brows, this version ends with
Donald Pleasence getting a torch in his face.
