Production values are first-class with a marvelous haunted house set in which photographer Marcel LePicard and director Jean Yarbrough create some imaginative atmospheric effects which will have most audiences on the edge of their seats.
The support cast is also very capable, with Alan Napier as the mad scientist, Glenn Strange as the Monster, Jane Adams the unwilling nurse, Minerva Urecal leading the "villagers".
As might be inferred the film is a parody of Frankenstein, using some of the cast regulars from Universal's horror series, plus the services of that expert make-up artist Jack P. Pierce, who created the original Frankenstein monster way back in 1931!
