The Screaming Shadow is a 1920 American 15-chapter silent action film serial directed by Ben F. Wilson and Duke Worne. The film is considered to be lost.[1] The serial's themes of "eternal life" and "premature burial" seem to tilt it into the horror genre as well. Actor/co-director Wilson died at age 54 in 1930 from a heart ailment.
