Chandu the Magician is a 1932 American pre-Code fantasy horror mystery film and starring Edmund Lowe, Irene Ware, Bela Lugosi and Herbert Mundin. Based on the radio play of the same name, written by Harry A. Earnshaw, Vera M. Oldham and R.R. Morgan. The radio series was broadcast from 1931 to 1936, and Fox obtained the rights hoping the film would appeal to a ready-made audience.
