This film was made in 1958, but not released until 1988 when it was discovered by Greg Luce of Sinister Cinema. It only runs 30 minutes and has a strange little plot.
It seems that a scientist (Doug Hobart) has been infected with some kind of radiation and has been turned into a werewolf. He has now been seen hanging around the lab of Prof. Wilmer (John Copeland).
There is also a sub plot about a commie agent trying to steal an invention of Wilmer's. The spy and his female partner travel to the lab, but the werewolf attacks and kills the agent. The woman passes out and is brought back to the lab.
The film just kind of ends when the Prof. announces that his new invention will help the seemingly doomed werewolf/scientist. I have heard that this was an unfinished film because it just seems to have a lot missing. It was shot in Dayton, Ohio.
I like the werewolf make-up and it seems this film steals a few ideas from another werewolf film made in 1957 entitled "The Werewolf" by producer Sam Katzman.
If you get a chance to see this rare film, do so and decide for yourself if you like it or not. I did.
I couldn't find any picture of this online..so for the first time I won't be giving you one.
