Wissenswertes
To keep production costs down, low-budget studio Majestic Pictures filmed at night on Universal's European village set, which was used for Frankenstein (1931). The interior of Lionel Atwill's house is the set from Das Haus des Grauens (1932).

Patzer
[Spanish dubbed version] In the original version, when Herman encounters Aunt Gussie, he hides behind a bush and does a "meow" which draws Aunt Gussie to the bushes looking for the cat. In the Spanish dubbed version, they neglected to put in the "meow" so there is no motivation for Aunt Gussie to go to the bushes.

Zitate
Karl Brettschneider: I don't mind admitting that I'm up a tree. Stumped!

Alternative Versionen
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts were waived in 1993 when the film was granted a 'PG' certificate for home video.

Another Fun Atwill Horror Film

There have been a rash of killings in a German village. The victims have all been found drained of their blood. The villagers believe a local weirdo named Herman Gleib (Dwight Frye), who has an unnatural affinity for vampire bats, is responsible. However, as the story progresses, it looks like a scientist engaged in disturbing experiments might really be the culprit.

This is a good little vampire/mad scientist mash-up horror film from the early '30s. Helped by a cast of greats, including Frye, Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, and Melvyn Douglas. Made by Poverty Row studio Majestic, it looks pretty good since they were able to use leftover Universal sets. Majestic rushed the film into production in order to release it before Mystery of the Wax Museum, Warner Bros' big hit starring Atwill & Wray.
