    • Trivia
      Shot in six days.
    • Goofs
      In the film, George Zucco differentiates the two characters by wearing glasses for the good doctor, and none for the evil one. Apart from when he forgets - most notably when, as the good doctor, he bends over not wearing any glasses, but when he stands up again (different cut) he suddenly is wearing them again.

    A little slow, but great if you are a fan of the genre
    I am a big fan of movies made in the 30's and 40's and as such I didn't find this film too bad.

    This film cash's in on a very popular theme of the time, Zucco plays both the Vampire (Elwyn) and the likable Doctor (his brother). The contrast between Zucco's portrayal of the two characters is pretty good and is not really worthy of the bad acting classification given by the previous commentary.

    Granted, it's slow and we have seen the plot a thousand times but if you are a fan you won't be too judgemental. You could see a lot worse. Give it a try.
