78 The Mad Monster ( 1942 )


George  Zucco  plays  almost  exactly  the  same  part  in  this  one  as  a  mad  scientist  injecting  his  slow-witted  servant  ( Glenn  Strange )  with  wolf  serum  to  turn  him  into  a  killing  machine.
He  wants  revenge on  the  scientists  who  discredited  him  as  explained  in  a  chilling  early  scene  where  he  hallucinates  they're  all  in  his  cellar  listening  to  his  ravings.

Alas  the  film  fails  to  live  up  to  this  excellent  start  and  becomes  slow-moving  and  repetitive  with  characters  failing  to  see  clues  that  are  as  plain  as  the  nose  on  your  face.

Anne  Nagel  ( as  Lenora )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


The  lovely  Anne's  completely  wasted  in  this  one  as  the  doc's  innocent  daughter  who's    peripheral  to  the  plot.
