6/10
Lon Chaney Jr.'s first Horror film.
17 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Lon Chaney Junior has an odd distinction in the Universal Horror Canon. He was the only actor to portray the Wolf Man. he was the only actor to play all the major monsters- Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Wolf Man and Dracula. But this little film is often overlooked.

He plays "Dynamo Dan", a carnival performer who works with electricity who inexplicably survives an electrical accident that kills many others. He goes to work for mad scientist Lional Atwill who proceeds to turn him into an electric powered zombie.

Sentenced to die in the electric chair, he rampages across the countryside after a botched execution and gets his revenge.

it contains all the flavor of a Universal Horror film with none of the substance.
