Pillow of Death(Movie, 1945)

1h 6min | Genres: Horror, Mystery, Crime

Rating: 3.3/5 (with 8 votes)

Pillow of Death is a 1945 film noir mystery horror film directed by Wallace Fox and starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Brenda Joyce. The last of the Inner Sanctum mystery films, it is based on a story by Dwight V. Babcock. The "Inner Sanctum" franchise originated with a popular radio series and all of the films star Lon Chaney Jr. It was the only entry in the series to dispense with the introduction by a disembodied head in a crystal ball, as well as the only one to feature comic-relief characters to alleviate the grim tone.
