Night Monster (1942)

A Creepy Mystery-Horror


This one is full of atmosphere: spooky old house, fog, croaking frogs, chirping crickets, Lugosi and Atwill's presence, a man without limbs, a killer on the loose, supernatural occult elements, a mystery to solve and more. This is one Universal Horror Classic that you do not want to miss.

It's too bad that Bela Lugosi's role was not bigger but then again his part as a creepy butler made the film all that much more fun to watch. Lionel Atwill is just as scary to watch.

The climax of the film is a real treat as the mystery is solved, the murderer reveled. Hard to take your eyes off the last 15-20 minutes of it.

Watch this one on a (cliched) "dark and stormy night".

8.5/10
