Poster for the movie Night Monster

Night Monster (Universal, 1942)

Murder stalks the guests in the sinister home of a man (Ralph Morgan) left crippled by three doctors (among them Lionel Atwill), a man whose sister (Fay Helm) fears for her own sanity as well. Can plucky Dick Baldwin (Don Porter) unravel the mysterious goings-on and protect Dr. Lynne Harper (Irene Hervey), a psychiatrist summoned to examine the sister and menaced herself? Could the culprit be the creepy chauffeur (Leif Erickson), or perhaps the butler (Bela Lugosi)? This minor but entertaining horror thriller from Universal is worth a look for fans of the genres or of the performers involved.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 552 for 2021.
