To provide a continual supply of chemicals to continue his experiments and support his addiction, he falls in with a den of murderers who use his signature to sell cadavers to the local hospital.

Oh, what a strange pairing for a double bill! Corridors of Blood stars Boris Karloff and features Christopher Lee as Resurrection Joe, Francis Matthews, and Betta St. John in strong supporting roles. The rest of the cast is loaded with accomplished British character actors who elevate the picture. Set in 1840 London, the plot is centered around the development of anesthesia and is intertwined with stories of addiction, murder, and cadaver selling. Shades of Burke and Hare! There is much to talk about, and it probably goes without saying, but the Crew is very excited because\u2026 Doc is in the house!
