After a bus crash on a lonely Austrian road, American honeymooners, Joan (Jacqueline Wells) and Peter Alison (David Manners) are forced to spend the night at the house of Poelzig (Boris Karloff), a sinister looking man who is engaged in an intense feud with Dr. Werdegast (Bela Lugosi), whom the couple met on the Orient Express. Held captive in the mausoleum against their will, they soon discover that Poelzig is the high priest at Black Mass and has chosen Joan to be the Devil's bride. The couple is then faced with trying to escape the unspeakable treachery culminating in an unforgettable climax to this horror classic. (Umbrella Entertainment)
