“If modern jazz becomes indelibly linked with manslaughter, murder, mayhem, wise-cracking private eyes and droll policemen, the brunt of the responsibility must be borne by composer Henry Mancini. Because of him the point is rapidly being reached where no self-respecting killer would consider pulling the trigger without a suitable jazz background.”

Ghoul, 1933
Boris Karloff stars in this British horror film, where he plays the part of Prof. Henry Morlant, a dying Egyptologist who purchased “The Eternal Light” a rare Egyptian artifact, where if placed in the hand of Anubis after death, would grant the owner immortality. Naturally, everyone in the film wants the artifact for themselves, but patiently waited until the eccentric professor had passed away. After an elaborate burial, Morlant rises from the dead to retrieve his stolen jewel!
