Archie Dyson was hanged in 1927 for the grotesque murders of several young women. His antique shop was closed and boarded up for fifty years, as directed in the will of his brother, Jack.
When a young couple, Janet and Eric Baker, buy the premises fifty years later and re-open the shop, the glass on an old sepia photograph of Archie Dyson with his mother and brother is broken and the blood that drips onto the photograph starts to restore Archie back to life.
As he develops, he needs more blood and progressively bigger photographs. He gradually gains control of the minds of the young couple and anyone who visits them.
The young wife spends all her time painting a mural, which covers an entire wall and every character in the painting has the face of Archie Dyson. His control over them is complete and they follow his instructions, however bizarre.
Eventually he regains his human form and once again the bodies of young women are found in the neighbourhood with horrific injuries. He manages to implicate Eric Baker, who goes to prison for murder.
The coast is now clear for the Grey Man to bully Janet into completing the mural so that he may achieve his ambition to become all-powerful and continue his new reign of maniacal and cannabalistic terror.
