- TriviaFor many years this was regarded as a "lost film", with no prints or elements known to exist. A nitrate release print was discovered in the Czech National Archives, in Prague, in then Czechoslovakia. This print was a subtitled, edited version that was in poor condition, and contained numerous splices. Several years later, a print of the uncut British version was finally discovered.

Featured review
Slow to get started, but solid Karloff horror film
Boris Karloff was already a horror mainstay at this point in his career, having played Frankenstein's monster, The Mummy, and Fu Manchu, and now playing the titular Ghoul. This film has a deceased Karloff coming back to life after an Egyptian jewel he was buried with is stolen. The film really does, pun intended, come to life after Karloff's resurrection, but the build up to that point for the film's short 79-minute runtime is a bit of a slog. Overall, this British horror film isn't exactly a Universal Pictures Horror classic, but it is solid entertainment. FUN FACT! "The Ghoul" is one of many films to have fallen into the public domain, so it is freely available for download on the internet.
