Viewing Notes
This little flick deserves more credit than its IMDb rating would suggest. Lugosi is a professor by day and runs a soup kitchen at night in order to recruit bums to do his evil bidding after he transforms them into criminals. Once they’ve done the crime he turns them into mindless creatures and stores them in his basement. Seriously. Cool flick.
