''The Ghoul'' is a 1933 British horror film starring Creator/BorisKarloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thesiger, and Creator/RalphRichardson, in his film debut.
Egyptologist and professor Henry Morlant (Karloff) thinks an ancient jewel will give him powers of rejuvenation if it is offered up to the god Anubis. But when Morlant dies, his assistant Laing (Thesiger) steals the jewel. While a gaggle of interlopers, including a disreputable lawyer (Hardwicke) and a fake vicar (Richardson), descend on the professor's manor to steal the jewel for themselves, Morlant returns from the dead to punish everyone who has betrayed him.
!!Tropes used in ''The Ghoul'' include:
* BadHabits: Nigel Hartley is a thief disguised as a country parson as part of his plan to steal the jewel.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The first person killed by Morlant when he returns from the grave is Aga Ben Dragore's Arab servant Mahmoud.
* BuriedAlive: If you believe the doctor, Morlant was never actually dead, but merely in a cataleptic trance, and thus was entombed alive.
* GodGuise: Hartley places his arm through a fake sleeve to briefly pose as the god Anubis and take possession of the jewel.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Rational explanations are presented for all of the events of the film. It is up to the viewer to decide which version they believe.
* TheVicar: Nigel Hartley presents himself as a bicycle riding country parson, who accuses Morlant of paganism and fears for the fate of his soul. However, it actually turns out to be a case of BadHabits.
