Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Paul Marco, Edward D. Wood Jr. thought that Bela Lugosi's memory might not be very good, so for Lugosi's long speech, Wood had the prop man make cue cards. Lugosi, upset, insisted he didn't need cue cards and he would "memorize it." Wood still insisted on the cue cards, telling Lugosi, "We have to be safe". Lugosi went to Marco for help. He had Marco promise not to show him the cue cards during the scene. Marco held the cards at his side the whole time and Lugosi never looked over once. After Lugosi's performance the whole crew got up and applauded.
- GoofsMany movie sources cite that in this film Bela Lugosi flubbed a line in which he described Lobo as being "harmless as a kitchen". Legend has it Edward D. Wood Jr. didn't have time or money enough to do a second take. But on watching the movie, one discovers that Lugosi says the line correctly.
- Quotes

Dr. Eric Vornoff: Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Don't Be Fooled
Sure Ed Wood movies are cheesy and humorless, so are apt fodder for people looking for something to belittle.
But I'm not one to let a bad execution get in the way of a good movie. In the "sequel" to this, there really was a cool, worthwhile concept. This one lacks that, but it makes up for it in my mind through the much celebrated performance of Lugosi.
As much as I appreciate the Burton version of the history, I like the real thing so much better.
Here was a man deep in the mysteries of the devil via drugs. Here was a man whose life consisted of the sort of cheap props that feature in this story. Here is a man who could and did hypnotize millions of "visitors" (filmgoers). And a man who was destroyed by his own creation.
Man and character, truth and play all here for us to see. This is no mere funhouse, kiddies. This is the real thing, real experimentation turned evil, beyond deadly.
I thank Tod Browning for starting this metamovie, and Burton for finishing it. But for the actual corpse, you have to visit this house.
Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.
