The Mad Monster is a 1942 horror film directed by Sam Newfield and
produced by Sigmund Neufeld for Producers Releasing Corporation.
George Zucco plays Dr. Lorenzo Cameron, a discredited scientist who
injects his simple-minded handyman Petro (Glenn Strange) with a serum
derived from wolf's blood, transforming him into a werewolf. Cameron
unleashes his creation on the colleagues who ruined his career, while
reporter Tom Gregory (Johnny Downs) and Cameron's daughter Lenora
(Anne Nagel) close in on the truth. A quickie knock-off of Universal's
monster pictures, it gave Glenn Strange an early turn as a screen
monster before he played Frankenstein's creature at Universal. The
film is in the public domain through non-renewal.
