Description
Bowery at Midnight (1942) is a horror film starring Bela Lugosi. Lugosi plays a psychology professor by day who, secretly and under an assumed name, runs a Bowery soup kitchen by night called the Bowery Friendly Mission. Lugosi’s character uses his soup kitchen as a means to recruit members of a criminal gang, of which he is also secretly the head.
Throughout the film, one of Lugosi’s henchmen, a doctor who seems to be an alcoholic drug addiction, alludes to having plans for the corpses of henchmen Lugosi has had killed. Then, at the end of the film, these corpses are revealed to have been restored to life by the doctor. Lugosi’s character meets his demise when the doctor leads the unwitting Lugosi into a basement room where the reanimated corpses attack him.
Towards the end of the film, the male lead, played by John Archer (actor), appears to be killed and mysteriously reanimated, in which state his girlfriend sees him. Then, in the film’s final scene, he appears restored to his former health, and not like a zombie at all, and is about to (or already has) marry his girlfriend.
