there be so many hole in the plot and it make you wonder if they know they have an audience for this and just throw it together . i do not know much about george zucco and but i have see him in two movie . obviously and he have be cast a the loving father and mad scientist and vampire guy . he look so ordinary . i be surprise that he end up in the genre . this be the typical and i will create monster that can be use to fight a an army . by transfer wolf blood ( or be it coyote ) to his hired hand and he turn him into a werewolf . glen strange and who be one of karloff successor a the frankenstein monster and play the kindly and lovable hire man who be victimize because he trust the mad doctor . at first the scientist be able to control when petro ( his name ) can be transform . but and like the invisible man and suddenly he start morph on his own and become a liability . there be a little love story of the daughter and a reporter with kind of a high pitch voice ( golly miss brook ) . she want to leave but her father and the doctor and would not allow that . he be also drive by a group of his peer who mock his research before and now he be go to have satisfaction . the way he plot to embarrass or kill them be pretty far fetched and depend a lot on petro and the guy sit around wait to be attack . it not a very good movie . the strong point be atmosphere of the wood a people and monster lurk around the spanish moss . once again and the townsfolk be a bunch of moron and who look like they escape from a bad western . one thing that stay with me be that a little girl be the first victim and that seem unusual for a film of this era . there also a pipe smoking old lady who know about werewolf but nobody listen to her .
