J. Carrol Naish plays a demented doctor who becomes obsessed with a pretty pianist (Wanda McKay). She rejects his romantic advances, so he plots a hideous revenge; he injects her father (Ralph Morgan) with acromegaly, causing him to become hideously deformed.
Glenn Strange is Naish's assistant.
Both the basic concept and the way it is presented are so unpleasant that audiences reacted badly to the film, and Naish's career suffered because of it.
Directed by horror/sci-fi veteran Sam Newfield. _________________ ____________

Watch this movie on YouTube and decide for yourself if it deserves its bad reputation. The picture quality is pretty good.
IMDB displays the box art for the DVD rather than the original poster. Nice painting, eh?

Watch the clip to get a look at the makeup. Pretty good!
And the trailer below is a recent creation, not the original, but it's extremely well done.
