The Mad Monster (1942)

It's Not Lon Chaney, Jr. But It's Not All That Bad


This movie is NOTHING like Universal's "Wolf Man" starring Lon Chaney, Jr. So if you are looking for something similar to the Universal class then this film is not for you. The ONLY similarity between this film and Universal's classic is the fact both werewolves appear to have hypertrichosis with a wild wolf instinct - that's it. The stories are quite different. The wolfman Petro's story is NOTHING like Larry Talbot's story.

"Mad Monster" is about a scientist that found a way to inject his subject with a serum that turns him into a werewolf. He sends the werewolf Petro to kill for him as revenge.

Honestly "Mad Monster" is not a horrible werewolf film - it's a must see if you do like werewolves just to say 'I've seen that werewolf film' lol. Again, it's NOTHING like Universal's "Wolf Man" - but it's a totally different story all together.

5.5/10
