Black Friday (1940)

As Dr. Ernest Sovac (Boris Karloff) makes his way to the electric chair, he recalls the events that landed him on death row.

I watched the 1940 Universal Pictures, gangster – film noir -horror, movie “Black Friday” on Svengoolie. It is a science fiction horror film directed by Arthur Lubin and produced by Burt Kelly for Universal Pictures. The film stars Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, two of the most renowned figures in horror cinema, although they do not share any scenes together in this movie. The screenplay was written by Curt Siodmak, who later became famous for his work in the horror genre, including the classic “The Wolf Man” (1941).

Man-Made Monster (1941)

I watched the 1941 Universal Pictures, science fiction horror movie, Man-Made Monster on Svengoolie. This film is directed by George Waggner (Horror Island, The Wolf Man, 10 episodes of Batman 1966-1968) and produced by Jack Bernhard (Unknown Island, Decoy, Blonde Ice, The Second Face). Dan McCormick played by Lon Chaney Jr. (played The Wolf Man, Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy in various movies) is on a bus that wrecks and a power line kills everyone on board but him.
