The Terrible People (serial)

The Terrible People is a 1928 American adventure silent film serial directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet, based on the 1926 novel of the same name by Edgar Wallace.^[1] It was released as a 10-chapter serial. The film is now considered to be lost.^[2]

Most of the books of Edgar Wallace have been adapted into films many times over the years in both England in the 1930s, and in Germany in the 1960s in a series known as the crimis. The Terrible People was remade as a German crimi film under the same title in 1960.^[3]

An heiress is threatened by the gang of a criminal who seems to have returned from the dead.^[4] Clay Shelton was executed for his crimes, but it seems he has returned to life to exact revenge on the people responsible for his death.
