THE RETURN OF DOCTOR X

1939 • US HMDB
November 23, 1939

When news reporter Walter Garrett arrives at the hotel room of bombshell actress Angela Merrova to conduct an interview, he finds her dead from multiple stab wounds. He returns with the police to find the hotel empty and the body vanished. Garrett writes about the incident but is fired when Merrova, alive and well, goes to the paper to complain. Now his only chance to get his job back is to find the truth, which involves the grisly scheme of a madman.

The Verdict

A criminal scientist executed in the electric chair is brought back to life by a colleague, but to move forward, he needs to continue with human blood transfusions. In the end, a journalist, who investigates the disappearance of the victims of the "monster", will manage to stop him before he kills his young assistant as well.

Curious mix of zombism and vampirism.
