Curiosidades
When photographer Billie Mason (Louise Currie) and journalist Jeff Carter (Wallace Ford) are leaving for Dr. Brewster's (Bela Lugosi) house, Billie jokingly calls Jeff "Mr. Brisbane". In the banter, she was referring to Arthur Brisbane (1864-1936), who was known as the greatest newspaper journalist of his time.

Pifias
At the 40-minute mark, as Jeff Carter is walking through a doorway he removes his hat twice.

Citas
Agatha Brewster: Most spirits are honest, gentle and kind, and only want to bring happiness to humans. But a few are evil and, having been wicked in life, are wicked in death, and only haunt the scenes of desperate crimes, reveling in murder.

Créditos adicionales
At the end of the film a mysterious character who has appeared intermittently throughout the film introduces himself as "the author of the story" and winds up a car window with the words "THE END" printed on it.

This is hilarious

I need to watch more of these ancient horror flicks - The Ape Man had me in tears of laughter. Brilliant! This one has it all...

Somehow, Bela's turned himself (slightly) into an Ape. Which means he's got bad posture and hair on his face. Apart from that he's alright. I mean, he can still speak English and wear clothes, which made me confused as to why he had to sleep in a cage with an ape. He certainly was an angry fellow though. I lost count of the amount of times he attacked that ape with a whip! When I say 'ape', by the way, I mean 'guy in an ape suit'. Bela and the guy in the ape suit talk their own ape language from time to time too, especially when arranging to kill folks and steal their spinal fluid for a laugh.

There are some old classic horrors kicking around, but this is a BAD classic horror. Poor acting (from everyone), spelling mistakes on the headlines, and an ending that must have been shown in Italian film school under the class 'How to leave the audience scratching their heads'.

It's public domain. You don't even have to pay to see it.

And buy war bonds! Help our boys overseas!
