The Invisible Ghost is a 1941 low-budget Universal horror film starring Bela Lugosi, notable for its spare atmosphere and B-movie charm. In a premise that plays on invisibility rather than gore, a man who has vanished after a laboratory experiment stalks his loved ones, using his unseen status to manipulate events and menace the household from the shadows. The movie leans on stark lighting, creaky stairwells, and Lugosi’s somber, imposing presence to conjure suspense rather than spectacle. While it’s not as celebrated as Lugosi’s earlier hits, it’s affectionately remembered by fans as a compact, eerie slice of early-40s horror—an example of how a tight budget could still conjure mood, mystery, and a dash of campy fright.
