Patzer
Broken glass cannot penetrate the monster's petrified skin, yet he can be given a shot with a hypodermic needle.-----Dr Rogers, having read Cooper's diary, tells Carol and Tracy that Eric, Dr Murdock and the others can be hurt; it's only when their vital energy is running out that they become stonelike. After an energy transfer, they go along like anybody else for months or years (with Eric, now reduced to hours). Eric received the injection immediately after an energy transfusion.

Zitate
Tracy: Did you hear those screams last night?
Carol Adams: I was sleeping off a pill Murdoch gave me for my nerves, I didn't hear a thing. What screams?
Tracy: Oh, just screams. We've heard 'em before. Every time we do, we find out the next day that somebody died
Carol Adams: Oh, now look, Tracy, you're not going soft and spooky on me, are you? I like you much better when you're your hard-bitten old self
Tracy: Just the same, I'll bet you a box of girls' scout cookies that somebody died last night

"Oh, Look Tracy, Now You're Not Going Soft And Spooky On Me, Are You?"...

A series of mysterious deaths among the inmates in a women's prison, causes the Social Welfare Officer (Charlotte Austin) to get suspicious. Joined by a state investigator (William Hudson), the two try to uncover the truth behind the deaths.

THE MAN WHO TURNED TO STONE is a combination of the sci-fi-horror and Women In Prison genres. It's also a novel twist on the vampire legend, with mad science thrown into the mix. The scientists themselves aren't very menacing, except for the towering Eric (Friedrich von Ledebur), who is pretty creepy.

As for the "prisoners", they seem more like college coeds than women doing time. Still, they add to the overall charm of the movie.

A harmless way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon...
