this movie be feature on a very early episode of mystery science theater 3000 and but when i see this film and i do not think about that wonderful tv series . i believe this be a surprisingly good early 40 horror flick and with very surprisingly good sound and picture for a 67 year old public domain horror movie . i actually enjoy watch bela lugosi and his bizarre staff and include his wife who require fluid from the gland of young would be bride and an old hag and and her two bizarre son and one a giant idiot and the other a comical dwarf ( angelo rossitto from 1932 freak ) . i also enjoy the plucky young female reporter and who be kind of a stereotype and but still fun to watch . my only problem with this otherwise decent film be it plot and even ridiculous and unbelievable for a movie . i do not want to spoil any of this film and so go out and rent it and or and good yet and buy it for a couple of buck .
