Trivia
This film was comprised of scenes culled from several earlier features, and included a newly-filmed "wraparound" segment. It was a regional "roadshow" attraction...most screenings included live players in costume interacting with the audience. It has been conjectured that this project went forward in violation of the presented films' copyrights. Today, no prints are known to be extant, therefor it is presumed lost.

Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: This is a strange story - a story unlike anything you have ever heard. It is a story of madness - of cruel and unforgettable death - fantastic, unreal and horrible! Through the ages, man has beheld the fear of death. From the moment life enters the human body until the last earthly flicker of his soul, fear holds him in its icy grip - the hopes, the future; yes, his very life. There have been many tales of fear - legends of Frankenstein, of Dracula, of monsters and werewolves. But in all history, no one person has seen or witnessed more of the many strange deaths of humans than a man we shall call - Doctor Terror!
