The Awful Dr. Orlof (1962)

In the shadowy corners of 1912, the infamous Dr. Orlof, a once-respected prison physician, now descends into the chilling abyss of madness. Assisted by Morpho Lodner, his grotesquely deformed accomplice resurrected from the brink of death, Dr. Orlof orchestrates a string of abductions. Alluring women vanish from the lamp-lit nightclubs, ensnared in his nefarious web, only to reappear in the haunting confines of the Hartog Castle. Orlof's obsession stretches beyond the macabre as he painstakingly attempts to graft their pristine skin onto his daughter's face, marred by a devastating fire. His sadistic practices cast an ever-darkening cloud over the city, prompting the attention of the astute Inspector Tanner, bound in a loving engagement to Wanda Bronsky, a ballet dancer of ethereal grace. When Wanda's compassion propels her to aid her betrothed in his hunt for the elusive doctor, she unwittingly becomes the next pawn in Dr. Orlof's ghastly game. With every tick of the clock, peril closes in, leaving Tanner with the cryptic leads of the city's local drunkard, Jeannot, his last flicker of hope in this grim tapestry of terror. In the race against time, Tanner must unravel the threads of this gruesome mystery, as Dr. Orlof's reign of horror threatens to consume all he holds dear. The Awful Dr. Orlof weaves a tale of suspense and dread, entangling viewers in a macabre dance of fear and obsession.
