1929127469New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1929. Octavo cloth. Photoplay edition. Photoplay edition with eight stills from the 1929 film. "7 FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN was released as both a silent film and as a sound film with Vitaphone musical score sound effects and some dialogue sequences. The film received generally negative reviews including from such publications as THE NEW YORK TIMES VARIETY -- which called it 'An utterly moronic sound film . all hokum' -- and the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER in which Mildred Martin wrote 'after all the screams and creaks and thumps it reaches a somewhat tame conclusion .' Despite this it performed well at the box office. A companion Photoplay edition of the Merritt novel published by Grosset & Dunlap and featuring several stills from the film also sold extremely well. The sound version of the film is presumed lost . and the Vitaphone soundtrack for recording is also lost." - Wikipedia. A 2014 restored copy of the silent version is available on YouTube.
