THE HORROR DEPARTMENT

Owing to the increasing popula- rity of mystery and horror films, the Paramount studios have esta blished. a Myetary Department for the manufacture and opflection of instrument of terror to be used as "properties" in their films.

The equipment at present inclu- des apparatus for torture cham- bers and strange surgical instru- ments used in "The Island of Lost Souls. The bizarre apparatus used by Charles Laughton as the scientist also is thore.

The most terrifying articles of all are those collected for use in "Murders in the Zoo," which will feature Charles Bugglos, Lionel Atwill and Kathleen Burke. This is to be a "horror picture which will surpass all others."
