Not just a little creepy. Short of a horror classic.

Universal pictures presents a real creepy winner among the B horror movie genre. And a genuine star in Rondo Hatton, The Creeper! Struggling sculptor Marcel De Lange (Martin Kosleck) is the victim of scathing reviews by the New York art critics. The distraught artist goes to the river to drown himself...that is where he discovers the half-drowned notorious serial killer, the Creeper (Hatton). De Lange decides the best way to get back at all of his critics is to have them meet the Creeper, personally.

Jean Yarbrough directs the George Bricker screenplay from Dwight Babcock's original story. Rondo, of course, is the real star. Other cast members are strong: Bill Goodwin, Robert Lowrey, Virginia Grey, Alan Napier and Joan Fulton.
