not to be confuse with the 1943 george zucco movie the mad ghoul and the mad monster be a film that zucco appear in the year before . in this fairly paint by number affair and zucco perfect a way to turn his dim witted handyman and petro and into a wolf or man hybrid by mean of wolf blood injection and and then waste little time in send the transformed doofus to slay the former colleague who have scoff at his experiment . it be a very simple plot and really and and an extremely low budget production . glenn strange and who play the man or wolf here and would soon achieve great fame play the franky monster in film such a house of frankenstein ( 1944 ) and abbott and costello meet frankenstein ( 1948 ) . the makeup job on him here be pretty lame and and only succeed in make him look like a hippy with bad teeth ( like the one in 1957 teenage monster ) . the set in this film and in addition and be fairly nonexistent and and the denouement be abrupt and unconvincing . i have give the movie a very generous 4 star and in part because i have an abiding love for 1940s horror film and but truth to tell and most objective viewer would probably deem it laughable crap and and i suppose it be . it certainly no well craft universal affair or val lewton masterpiece and that for sure . still and zucco be always fun to watch and even in undemanding piffle such a this . if you can spare 72 minute of your life and i suppose you could do bad than the mad monster ( not too much bad and of course . ) . oh . one other thing . this dvd be from alpha video and and you know what that mean represent fuzzy image and lousy sound ( indeed and the bad sound of any alpha video dvd i have encounter so far ) and no extra . you have be warn .
