___
Low budget Columbia production in which Victor Jory presides over a group of centuries-old scientists who conquer aging by submerging young women in a chemical-filled tank and extracting the substance necessary to rejuvenate aging villains.
The title refers to what happens to the ghoulish men if they miss a treatment — which of course they do by the story's climax.
Also starring Charlotte Austin, Paul Cavanaugh, and Ann Doran. Directed by Leslie Kardos.

If you like trailers that begin with screaming young girls (a room filled with them), you'll enjoy this one.

________________________________
IMDB has several interesting trivia items for this production, 
________________________________
~ Columbia Pictures released this film on a double bill with Zombies of Mora Tau (1957) with the tag line: "Warning - This is the Most Shocking Horror Bill Ever Shown!"
Note from me: Sounds like the usual studio hype.
~ The film was refused a UK theatrical certificate by the BBFC in April 1957 and eventually passed with cuts 3 months later.
Note from me: Hmmm . . . then again, maybe it WAS pretty shocking!

Here's a great double feature, complete with vintage drive-in "welcome messages", two terrific trailers, a Three Stooges episode, and then the double feature!
"So, get comfortable, folks! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!"
Enjoy!_
