The Devil-Doll

Tuesday, August 18, 2015, 8 p.m., Dryden Theatre

While Dracula and Freaks are recognized as cult classics, Tod Browning directed other inventive horror films that deserve a second look. The Devil-Doll, a unique and frightening foray into the world of miniature men, features groundbreaking special effects and sets that still impress. In this study of the macabre, Paul Lavond (Lionel Barrymore) exacts revenge on the crooked associates who sent him to jail by shrinking humans down to doll size and having them carry out his evil deeds.
