Silly premise, as has been mentioned, but really not too much different in some ways from some of Karloff's Columbia output. Karloff was, as usual, really good in this though.

The pretty good-looking print THIS airs certainly looks a lot spiffier than my Mill Creek version. It's about the worst print of anything I own, except for the Mill Creek version of THE MAD MONSTER.

I suspect its the Mill Creek, and as bad as it is, it's not as bad as The Ape Man which was in the same set. Think of the first time you saw White Zombie back in the Seventies, multiply it by ten Russ
