Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis low-budget thriller, boosted by Bela Lugosi, was one of the biggest successes for the poverty row Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC). After the war, the studio tried to recapture this success by producing an in-name-only sequel, Devil Bat's Daughter (1946), and a virtual shot-by-shot remake, The Flying Serpent (1946).
- GoofsWhen the reporter wrestles the doctor to the ground near the end of the film, their feet clearly wrinkle the fake grass on the set.
- Quotes
Dr. Paul Carruthers: Now, rub it on the tender part of your neck.
- Crazy credits[Prologue] All Heathville loved Paul Carruthers, their kindly village doctor. No one suspected that in his home laboratory on a hillside overlooking the magnificent estate of Martin Heath, the doctor found time to conduct certain private experiments -- weird, terrifying experiments.
- Alternate versionsAlso available in a colorized version.

Featured review
This one's for one shot
'One Shot' McGuire steals this show. Donald Kerr turns in a great performance as frenchy chasing Newspaper photographer/Johnny Layton cronie. I think it's his best role since Happy Hapton in Mars attacks the World.
I love the look on Bela's face whenever he delivers the cryptic farewell, "Good bye". Ever since I saw this film I can't wear aftershave.But what a diabolical plan. It was almost perfect. I can't wait to see Devil Bat's Daughter. I hope it's better than Dracula's Daughter.
I love when the family patriarch stops by Bela's in the beginning and tells him how he just went over the figures and it turns out he's a lot richer than Bela. After he leaves, Bela has a thinking voice over as his diabolical laughing face turns into an intense bitter stare.
Man this movie is Awesome, and what a fitting ending.
