Author Blue who is collecting materials for her new novel also takes interest after giving a tape recorder to a young woman called Ada who has gone blind after watching a horror movie. Their separate investigations come to a dead end - literally - with Balm jumping to his death after meeting the spirit of the dead rapist and Ada stabbing herself through the head with a kitchen knife. Accidentally, Ada's tape recorder is played back at high speed and out of the background noise Blue and Master Li can discern the name of Peanut's grandmother who died 93 years ago…

A twisted treasure from Hollywood’s pre-Code horror heyday, Island of Lost Souls is a cautionary tale of science run amok, adapted from H. G. Wells’s novel The Island of Dr. Moreau. In one of his first major movie roles, Charles Laughton is a mad doctor conducting ghastly genetic experiments on a remote island in the South Seas, much to the fear and disgust of the shipwrecked man (Richard Arlen) who finds himself trapped there. This touchstone of movie terror, directed by Erle C. Kenton, features expressionistic photography by Karl Struss, groundbreaking makeup effects that have inspired generations of monster-movie artists, and the legendary Bela Lugosi in one of his most gruesome roles.
