Viewing Notes
Another Unimonster movie I haven’t seen thx TCM
Give this a half bump for using so many monsters including a nod to hunchback and Jekyll/Hyde. Sadly Glenn Strange’s Frankenstein is barely used and he’s a good one. Suppose he wasn’t too thrilled to spend all that time in makeup for only a few minutes screen time.
Another half star bump for for the doctor throwing his hunchback assistant in a hole. Hope she had a stunt double. Wish the story had been better to capitalize on all these good things.
