Important Added Info: Note that this movie was intended to be MGM's answer to Universal's Dracula and Frankenstein, and they hired director Tod Browning, thinking he could not miss, but this movie proved disastrous at the box office, and MGM quickly withdrew it from circulation. Master promoter Dwain Esper purchased the rights from MGM, and after releasing it under some alternate titles, he launched this full scale re-release in 1949! Condition: good. The still pictured at upper left (Olga Baclanova as the chicken woman) has tiny creases sat and pinholes, tears and areas of paper loss around the edges.
