The Terrible People (serial)
- August 5, 1928 (1928-08-05)
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]
