The Mad Monster ~ 1942 -BW

QUICKIE: George Zucco turns a man into a monster and he's mad, mad I tell you! MAD!

PLOT: (from IMDB): Dr. Cameron (George Zucco) has succeeded in his experiments with a serum which will turn a man into a wolf-like monster and is ready to avenge himself on the men who caused his professional failure. He uses it on his gardener Petro (Glenn Strange) and one after the other is killed by his creation. His daughter, Lenora (Anne Nagel), grows suspicious and confides with newspaper reporter Tom Gregory (Johnny Downs).

SUMMARY: First up, I love George Zucco. He's fabulous as every villian I've seen him play. He's very theatrical. This is a fun werewolf movie. A simple story of getting the monster to kill your enemies with the inevitable conclusion that he turns against his creator and kills him in the end. No surprises here. Just good, clean werewolfey fun.
