think stage play . this be worth see once for the performance of lionel atwill and dwight frye . compare the melvyn douglas in ghost story with the melvyn douglas of this film . be there vampire at loose in this bavarian village and or be there a more natural and albeit equally sinister and explanation . dwight frye be herman and a red herring and who be cast a an especially moronic character . it fun to look at his different facial expression in what be really a stock character . not much happens for a long time and but then we discover that atwill pipe smoke doctor be the real murderer . there be too much comic relief but that be par for the course for this era . fay wray look really good .
