Best Dramatic Presentation Short Form | 1944
When photographer Billie Mason (Louise Currie) and journalist Jeff Carter (Wallace Ford) are leaving for Dr. Brewster's (Bela Lugosi) house, Billie jokingly calls Jeff "Mr. Brisbane". In the banter, she was referring to Arthur Brisbane (1864-1936), who was known as the greatest newspaper journalist of his time.
By the Poverty Row standards of Monogram Pictures, this was considered successful enough that an ersatz sequel, Return of the Ape Man (1944), starring Bela Lugosi, John Carradine and George Zucco) was released the following year. Other than Lugosi, the second film actually had nothing to do with this one.
Louise Currie replaced Amelita Ward.
The earliest documented telecast of this film took place in New York City 5/31/50 on the DuMont Television Network's WABD (Channel 5).
Filming began 12/18/42, the sixth of Bela Lugosi's nine Monogram features.
"Agatha Brewster: Most spirits are honest, gentle and kind, and only want to bring happiness to humans. But a few are evil and, having been wicked in life, are wicked in death, and only haunt the scenes of desperate crimes, reveling in murder."
"Jeff B. Carter: I got a hunch there's somethin' screwier than ghosts in that joint! Billie Mason: Well why didn't ya let me in on it? Jeff B. Carter: 'Cos if my hunch is correct, it's no place for a babe-in-the-woods like you!"
