I must have been 9 or 10 years old when I first saw THE MONSTER MAKER on TV. It was one of the very few films of the 1940's that left a bad taste in my mouth.At that age I didn't know Acromegaly from Chlamydia. But.I must have perceived something real not fantasy in the monster premise here. That must have rattled my little child insides.
