Horror Island
Lookout! Terror pays a visit to "Horror Island" and a hunt for buried treasure ...becomes the wierdest adventure...you ever shivered through! the phantom strikes and another victim!
Directed by George Waggner
Produced by Universal Pictures
A campy 1941 mystery-comedy that blends treasure-hunt adventure with phantom-haunted atmosphere, leaning heavily into playful genre pastiche rather than genuine scares.
A down-on-his luck businessman organizes an excursion to Sir Henry Morgan's Island for a treasure hunt only to encounter a mysterious phantom and murder.
