Summary:
Ghost ship: Tom Merriam, the young third mate on a freighter bound for Patagonia, witnesses the murder of a crewman by the ship's captain, Will Stone. Merriam realizes Stone is going insane, but the rest of the crew won't believe him or that he may be the mad captain's next victim! Bedlam: Boris Karloff reunites with Lewton for a third and final time in 1946's Bedlam, set in 1761 at a London asylum. Karloff gives an unforgettable performance as the doomed overseer who fawns on high-society benefactors while ruling his mentally disturbed inmates with an iron fist.
