- "Invisible Ghost" is a horror film starring Bela Lugosi, shot in black and white, and directed by Joseph H. Lewis. Lugosi plays Kessler, a man controlled by homicidal impulses beyond his control. He is being controlled by his wife, who had left him for another man. She was involved in a car accident that has left her brain damaged and is kept in the basement, in secret, by Kessler's gardener. When an innocent man is executed for a murder done by Kessler in the house, his twin brother visits and tries to unravel the mystery. In the end it ends up that Kessler really is the killer and he doesn't know it. Kessler looks at the painting of his wife (that is stabbed on the throat) and then walks out to be arrested.

What a blast this film was. I have been watching so many 1920s-1940s movies on youtube lately and enjoying the hell out of them.
Check out The Borgo Pass on FB, TH-cam,etc. Those two guys dissect all the universal horror movies, from the big 9 to the obscure!
My favorite period is 30's - 60's movies !!!
What are some of your favorites you have watched? I too have been on a classic movie binge these past couple years and find asking people their favorites is a good way for me to find out about movies I haven't seen.
Bende :)
@@xbrandi12345x Early films I've loved available on youtube are 'He who gets slapped", "the cat and the canary" (1927 version) 'The Old Dark House', and many more.
You just can't beat a classically creepy Bela Lugosi film - Thanks for posting this one!
There are some similarities between parts of this film and some of those late 1950s Twilight zone episodes, the music, the feelings in the air. Now I see where the Twilight zone got some of its feel from.

@Elaiot Toiale What the fuck do you keep posting this shit for? Think you’re being funny? Go do something else with your life fucking creep.
I agree. Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, and others were masters of horror while it was still an art.
Bela was the best! Those eyes when he was getting ready to strike. Enjoyed this film very much. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for uploading all of these wonderful, old classics. You just can't beat them...... timeless! I watch them all year around, not just at Halloween lol!

Diana couldn’t agree with you more
This was my first time hearing about
Clarence Muse (October 14, 1889 - October 13, 1979) who was an American actor, screenwriter, director, and composer. He was the first African American to appear in a starring role in a film. He acted for 50 years, and appeared in more than 150 films. He was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1973.
In 1943, he became the first African-American Broadway director with Run Little Chillun.
He is wonderful in everything I’ve seen him in. A flair for understated comedy here, too.
Do I look pale , I feel pale . Man I laughed for 15 minutes straight , had to stop the movie till I quit laughing
The actor who played Evans was absolutely great in this movie.
To think that this classic is now 80yrs old and to see just how far today's movies/Hollywood has fallen from a time where good storyline instead of effects kept ppl interested.
@ 14:50 nod to his Dracula Character on the stairs and his hand gesture :)
R I P Mr. Bela Lugosi still appreciated by fans in the 21st Century

Bela Lugosi is the legend of horror for all times. He started his career in teathtre of Subotica city (region of Bachka, autonomy province of Voyvodina, Serbia). In that city is every december festival of old movies, and especially horrors in honour of Bela Lugosi.

Nisam znao za ovo
So thankful for you oh god of grammar oh glorious merium-Webster.
Thanks for the Lugosi info. This is one of his I'd missed for sixty years.
Love trivia ty
Bela Lugosi always made things more scary and sinister and very creepy. One of the best. Love this movie 🍿🍿🍿
nothing beats classic black n white movies
Marva Harding My favorite genre
Check out The Devil Bat, Bela's best Poverty Row movie. He is just so good in every movie he made
Marva Harding yes, it's true. B&W and great performance and intrigue gets it done nicely.
Kenton Clarkson yes, you are right; he put everything in to every performance--low budget and Big Studio budgets.
@@fk8118 , some of this film had similar feel and music too from the late 1950s Twilight zone episodes, now I see where those episodes got some of its feel and ideas from. Particularly the part of this film where the guy sees the ghost of the woman where he got his temporary murderous trance from, and the end where it was revealed that the woman really was dead and only got up and moved when putting the guy into his trance, Twilight zone did take on some of that type of plot
Who's WATCHING IN 2020 👍 .

i have never heard of this movie but since i am a BELA LOGASI fan i just had to check it out!! Kinda strange to see BELA in a movie and he is not dracula!! The movies of the 30s and 40s are so much better than alot of what is out today!! This is a GREAT movie and i am glad i found it here on TH-cam!!!!
Me 2
Bela Lugosi not Logasi.
Clarence Muse is absolutely great in this movie as the dignified butler!
LOOVED this! Thank-you for posting. ADORED the butler, too.
Something of a rare depiction
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Making the most of what you have... relying on writing, innovative directing, limited sets, acting skill and quality.
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Uncle Marty is a Bela fan, and proud of it! First time I've seen this one.. A strange combination of creepy moments and weird logic. I love the scene with the gardener and his wife calmly discussing the fact that they're keeping Lugosi's crazy wife hidden in the basement!
Uncle Marty spoiler alert
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for these great uploadings of yours, this channel is a treasure.
The butler was unusually dignified. No blackface caricature.
Agreed. I thought that was classy.
Thank goodness!
Not to mention that a court convicted a white man and sentenced him to death solely based on the testimony of a black man.

The great Clarence Muse
Long live the classics! Chaney, Lee, Price and Boris to name a few.

why cant they make clean hardworking films,those CGI movies look unreal and cheap.while these had style and class
I agree. Nosferatu makes me more scared than over half of the horror flicks of the 2000s
They can. Wouldn't sell today.
@@herbalmedicine-best9903 ........The Chinese don't have a ''flat nose''! How did you come up with that ridiculous conclusion?
@@MrLyndarenaud google image.
I guess the present-day film producers hope that a lot of CGI will cover up the weak story lines, and poor acting. #KeepHoping4BetterFilms
LOVE OLD BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES
Freddie Arbuckle Me too
Freddie Arbuckle Check out Black Moon 1934 if you haven’t already seen it.

❤❤❤😊
What a great actor he was, loved him in all the monster movies he made RIP!!!

These movies are fine watched. Modern movies are fine shelved.
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
There's a great psychological story in this movie, does he kill because his wife keeps appearing and talking to him, and he thinks she's haunting him, or is he just crazy and kills because she left him? Black & white movies just have that certain extra "mystery " aspect, and the lack of gore just makes them even creepier.
love them are leav them
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
I thought might have D.A.T or Displaced Aggression Theory. I mean he was angry of her leaving him, but yet still love her as you guys saw him alone in the dining room talking to himself as if she's still there - invisible. That's an example of D.A.S
A good one and quite atmospheric, especially considering the severe budget limitations. Polly Ann Young is just as beautiful as her more famous sister Loretta. (Turn out the lights and watch this late a night.)
4023Essex I didn’t know that her sister was Loretta Young. Now that you’ve said it, I can really see a resemblance!
such elegance and class, that style is gone now. real shame
jade056 SLenin77 you said It!! Love these classics!
I disagree and agree at the same time.
The answer may surprise you! 😳
Spectacular
jade056 SLenin77 yep horror movies are shit these days all it is nudity and gore
Such elegance and class... To be your 69th like.....
Always loved Bela Lugosi the best but only ever got to see his first Dracula movie and hope to see the second one at least--the early '30s were beautifully filmed.
32:10 "Hey! Where were you on the night of January the 13th?" - "Have you had your coffee yet?" 😂🤣😂
I just love this film so much, thanks for the upload! I'll say it again: this is proof that Bela Lugosi would have done a spectacular job playing the dual role in Black Friday & *not* have needed to be replaced! And, had he been given his fair & rightful opportunity to do so, I'm pretty sure Curt Siodmak would certainly not have called Bela "incompetent".
I love seeing a dignified, intelligent black role in a movie of this time. Such a refreshing change from the bug-eyed, dribbling, 'Yessum Mista. Iza doinit ritch now!" What a great actor.
I agree. I despise those old stereotypes.
Amen!
Terri Ellis I know it’s shameful and bothers me.
EVERY ACTOR IS A STEREOTYPE. BLACKS THAT GOT JOBS WERE PAID ACTORS. 1000S OF ACTORS NEVER DID. AND THEY'RE NOT CHILDREN THAT NEED SOME FOOL WHITEKNIGHTING FOR THEM THEN
OR NOW!
Clarence Muse was a very interesting guy. I encourage everyone to look into his career. In many ways, he was an early advocate for positive representation. Sure, he was still a butler, but he was in charge of the other staff. It was a rare thing to see a black man giving orders to white people in those days. I love his performance in this! If you look at the old promotional posters for The Invisible Ghost, Clarence Muse is on most of them.
I appreciate that you always write a full description of the movie!
..thumbs up fans of Bela Lugusi!
long live his memory and works!
i am addicted to old movies. Another Lugosi classic A++++
Talk about the wife making you batshit crazy😉 .... great old movie, loved it.
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Theses are the best movies ever could watch them all night long wish they still made black and white movies
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
This is possibly my favorite from Lugosi.
This plot was good. SPOILERS: Man falls in love with woman, and other woman who loves him becomes jealous. He is then framed for the murder of the jealous woman, when really it was the other man who killed her, but he doesn't know he killed her, because this other strange woman who says she's dead keeps hypnotising him into murdering. Bravo.
This movie was released 7 months before Pearl Harbor attack. Awesome !!!

Fun old classic horror, with my personal favorite, Bela!
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Terrific Lugosi movie. One I'd never seen. Thanks so much!
kes S same here, I will watch as many as I can, I had no idea that he made so many different kinds of horror movies, apart from the one that really made him famous, I don't think I need to say which one that was!," Quote", I never drink........wine...
Recorded this on USA's "Night Flight' way back in 1987!Still love this movie;creepy fun.
those were fine days...used to work at state mental institutions(midnight shift) with a mostly criminally insane population...would make my rounds and sit down in front of tv and drink coffee all night so I would nod off because I drove 120 miles one way to work in country roads and smoked a lot of good shit !!!
watched UP ALL Night with that chick with big boobs and gilbert Gottfried. they also had weird cartoons and short films that were far too weird.
I just watched four in a row! Thanks for uploads.
Thank you for sharing this... It is a personal favorite of mine.....
Love these old black-and-white movies
Title cracks me up...invisible ghost..
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Bela ,Peter, Vincent,Lionel Atwill, No one today can compete/ compare with my lifelong favorite Actors. Nobody.
Love those old kitchens
It's insane how much these teams packed into an hour. Dude went from guilty to executed in minutes. Imagine getting the death penalty for telling someone they wont stand in the way of your happiness.
Good to see Mr. Lugosi in a different kind of role!
THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!!
I Love Old Movies ❤👍
🥰💙💋
Frank Bruno did a great job as the butler!

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for posting these great movies. What is the last line of the film? Bela's character says to the painting, "I knew you'd come back. Nothing can 'bind' (?) us now, darling."
Nothing can part us now darling...
Today's movies are not even close to the quality of the golden age of Hollywood movies of the 1930's-1950's. movie writers and producers of today ran out of ideas for movies years ago.
New movies all action no plot.
You are so right!
I prefer a good story over cgi any day
th-cam.com/video/8CWXfhPAlXo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing good old movies always the best !
I love all these old movies even though are way before my time, they still awesome.
Love Bela Lugosi ! Thanks!
The Frankenstein's monster walk is the most over used thing in horror movies of any time :)
If it's an Astor picture . . . you KNOW it's going to be good!
Interesting Movie with Bela Lugosi.
Love His Movie's.
The psychological premise is somewhat unique among horror films of the period, but the plot is far fetched and totally unconvincing, another "poverty row" clinker. I still can't figure why Universal failed to fully utilize Lugosi in their horrors when he was such a hit as Dracula. Why, for instance, John Carradine as Dracula in the two House movies? Their oversight landed him in a bunch of these potboilers to maintain a career and an income when he could have starred in far more substantial fare at Universal.
Allen Kracalik unfortunately it was somewhat Lugosi’s fault as well. He turned down the role of the Frankenstein monster because he felt that a non-speaking role was beneath his talent. That gave Karloff a chance, and he became a star.
I love how the cops couldn’t possibly think it was the rich guy. Just like today.
Money talks...and it always has

thanks for your nice old movies;
I agree with all below .... nothing beat a good old black and white horror film
Thanks for this!
24:20 mark: " Do I look pale ?"

Good one. I've made a similar joke. My skin is roughly as dark as Oprah's. If I we're too faint, you'll never know until we're down.
"...I feel pale..."
WHO?

Thank you u tube for bring these classic movies
Great old movie!! Thanks!!
the candles in these old movies were better than the led lights of today!
Arent ghosts known for their capability in being see through ?
Yes
Love these type of movies.
Movie description is kind of hard to understand but I’ll watch it anyway
Thank you for posting. Never saw this one!
A genuis at writing and producing thriller movies that kept you in suspense

Those classic movies, what never get old, i still love black & white movies.
The old movies are excellent
Constant Murders in that house & NOT one of them EVEN THINKS TO LOCK their Bedroom DOOR !!...LOL 😳😳
Fantastic thiller. Bela was good, but Evans deserves the Oscar 🍷🍷Enjoyable upload Timeless.
Evan was brilliant.
I know the old saying was it’s hard to find good help, but he didn’t have to keep killing them!
Whoever said their dad met Bela in the 60s not possible he died in 1956
Clarence Muse - history right there, which most people aren't aware of 👌😌👌
This movie got me interested in his career. He's an important part of African American history.
his madness overtakes him, but Lugosi does not overdo it. it's subtle, which makes this film a good one instead of a corny horror movie. he was a good actor and deserved more recognition than he got. but he didn't come from the upper class like Boris Karloff and Vincent Price (whose movies, tv and radio shows were corny - good, but corny). so Lugosi did not have the gentlemanly manner the other two did. seems to me anyway. At least he got to work though - really glad about that.. . .
24:44 "Yes, he had a great attorney...right up to the switch being pulled!"
and
Very good movies.
Enjoyed very much. Thank you.
Good old classic film, low budget a few actors but a great film. No need for special affects for cheap thrills.
One of Bela's better ones
Good movie! I won't be able to sleep for a week now.
Oh god I miss my last life. Now I'm in my new life. When 1938 I was 78 years old man and never I was died in 1944 and now I'm born again in 1997 . I wish my last life I can watch movie clearly, safely and enjoyable to watch movie. You never know on those year when I hang out or do something I always still afraid of boom and gun from war
You had me at Bella Lugosi !!!! Happy White Friday
What a great movie I own it love Bela Lugosi.
Great movie. Thank u
I really enjoyed this movie
Bella Lugosi...one of a kind...RIP.
Love these movies , I play them with my projector on 110 in screen.
Sounds like a good time ☺️
Great Horror Programmer by the one and only Bela!
Great Movie
These old movies still cut it.....
Bela Lugosi best actor of the century from Dracula to Plan 9
