Hey,
Remember when newspaper reporters were funny? This film has two and of course one is a woman with a man's name just to tweak the nose of social conventions. Throw in a mad scientist slowly turning into an ape due to his misguided experiments on himself and who needs to kill to extract human spinal column fluid so he can walk erect again and the baffled police and an elderly ghost hunter, a house with secret passages and a guy in a gorilla suit in the basement, and you have a little over an hour of thrills, chills and giggles. Plus, a fourth wall-breaking ending that comes right after the two reporters (now love birds) and the threat of a spanking to the woman.
Silly fun. Directed by William Beaudine, with Bela Lugosi, Louise Currie, Wallace Ford, Henry Hall, Minerva Urecal, and many others.

player (Windows Media Player) but another player handles it just fine.
Gotta go to bed now and I'm headed out of town in the morning, but I'll
watch it some time next week. I hope.

Maybe I'll watch it on the plane tomorrow. Now I really do have to go
to bed.

But you'll miss my post about "The Monster Maker."
