You shall not see in the New year.

During WW II as one of the Luftwafte air raids hits London, Reginald Parker, a successful actor, is knocked out and heavily concussed. Upon awaking he believes himself to be Edward Grey, the notorious Brighton Strangler he has been portraying on the stage!

Clocking in at just 67 minutes, The Brighton Strangler just about has enough time to get in and do it's job excellently.

Something of an under see… read the rest.

Meantime, people start turning up dead, strangled, and he begins to wonder if there isn't something… read the rest.
