very funny
Never seen it before. Pretty impressive considering when it was made. I really enjoyed it.
Had they got rid of all the dopey humor, this could have easily been one of the most chilling and horrific movies ever made.
One of the very best, great script, well acted, and definitely worth your time to take a look at this old time motion picture.
One of the best and most underrated Universal monster films.
