The Monster Maker (1944) HORROR

[@caravello6642]

You know every time I watch these old movies It brings back memories I'm sitting on the floor with a bowl of cereal, with my mom sitting on the couch on a rainy Saturday where I couldn't go out and play . These old black and white horror movies bring back so many great memories.

[@panther105]

We need to keep these old classic movies alive. Thank you for sharing this one.

[@mattreganowski8092]

we don't have actors like J. Carrol Naish anymore; he could play any character, good guy, bad guy, comedy, drama, any nationality, any accent, He was great.👍👍

[@maddogdan]

Thanks for upload. Love the old movies. Brings back fond memories.

[@randyacuna3248]

The great character actor j. Carroll nash. Always reliable. Very good monogram B film. First shown in the Los Angeles area on jeepers creepers on channel 13 at 10 o clock Saturday night. Earlier Saturday night at was chiller on channel 11, and on channel 9 was strange tales of science fiction at 5 PM. So much fun. Always looking forward to Saturday night when your a kid. What memories.

[@rahkinrah1963]

I remember those programs from there as a kid.

Wonderful cinematography and movies. Old good times for this kind of art.

[@tompatrick3281]

I remember as a kid in the 50s 60s and we would be laying in the floor late at night on Saturday nights , waiting for the Late Late Show would come on and we would watch the shows. Back then we would only get 3 channels and they would go off the air at midnight except for Saturday nights. When the late late show would come on and. We got to stay up till 2am on that night as long as we were quiet and didn't wake up our parents . ahhh the good ole daze I would go back to that time in my life in a flash if it was possible

[@chriscooper3117]

Tom Patrick Yup. I'd go back in a flash too. Little did we know back then that America was going to be a third world police state in a few decades! Boy oh boy, to have some freedom again. WELL WE'RE GONNA TAKE FREEDOM BACK!! YOU HERE ME, YOU COMMIE, SATANIC-WORSHIPPING, SPINELESS B@$TARDS!!!!

"Acromegaly" is a disfiguring disease affecting the face, and extremities. Actors, Richard Kiel, and Rondo Hatton were so afflicted, and no- there's no cure. BTW, much as I love Naish, who the heck keeps a gorilla as a lab animal? Rhesus monkey mebbe...

[@earlleeruhf3130]

Micheal Berryman while not suffering from Acromegaly is another actor that had an odd facial appearence yet like Kiel and Hatton he too was a respected and kind person.

[@guesswho5122]

@6:29 Suddenly switching to German, DR. IGOR MARKOFF says: "Auf wiedersehen". Strange, since so far I did not think that was a German name but rather a combination of, say, Russian and Bulgarian. Well, well, Hollywood and its idea of Europe. @David Daniel Ducker "Acromegaly is the disease Andre the Giant had same w/ the French Angel ...". Acromegaly is also playing a decisive role in Jack Arnold's great sci-fi/horror movie Tarantula. I had never heard that special term before. So, Hollywood can indeed enhance one's general knowledge. (James Bond actor Richard Kiel has the symptoms.

[@againstallodds3300]

@Dave Smith Well, the film was made in 1944 and the actual name of director Sam Newfield was Samuel Neufeld. Later, the Germans were quite OK again, and in 1963, JFK even took pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner". In 1969, former V2-experts from Peenemünde, Herr Wernher von Braun and Dr. Debus in particular, helped NASA reach the moon. Now, they have fallen from grace again, ever since Mr. Trump (who missed becoming one of those HERR Trumps from Rheinland-Pfalz, GERMANY, only by a narrow margin) started his economic war on the German car etc. industry.

[@dontaylor7315]

As a kid in the 50s I saw a lot of horror B-movies that used that gorilla gag - audiences were naive about primates in those days and they'd buy the idea that the great apes hunt and kill humans. I enjoyed this movie as a pretty good example of those old flicks but if it's ever remade the gorilla gag will have to be discarded and replaced with something at least marginally more plausible...unless the filmmakers play it for laughs.

[@susieshobe8524]

Good old movie.

[@randyacuna3248]

It would be great to see an old style monster movie in black and white today. The monster maker is a cheap low budget b enjoyable movie. So simple yet Hollywood today could never make it again this way. They would put too much money into it which would kill it's simplicity.
