| Overview | Calling himself "Oliver Frank", Dr. Frankenstein's grandson (Donald Murphy) is up to the old tricks while developing a wonder drug with kindly Carter Morton (Felix Locher). After using Carter's niece, Trudy (Sandra Knight) as his unwitting guinea pig, secretly transforming her while she sleeps, Oliver graduates to creating a new horror from scratch. Teen idol John Ashley, who later produced and / or starred in a series of lurid, low-budget horror movies shot in the Philippines, appears here as Trudy's boyfriend, Johnny Bruder. Director Richard E. Cunha (Giant From The Unknown) and screenwriter H.E. Barrie also collaborated on two other cult favorites, She Demons and Missile To The Moon, that year. |

| Runtime | 75 minutes |
| Audio | English Dolby Digital Mono |

| Overview | |
| My thoughts | The Day the Earth Stood Still, just like The Cosmic Man. And just to make sure, the producers hired Day's female lead Patricia Neal. Just like The Cosmic Man this movie is mostly talk and very little tech. Well, we do get a saucer but it looks about as high tech as the saucers in Plan 9 From Outer Space. It's not an awful movie, but it hasn't aged very well. Viewers acustomed to today's filmmaking would probably be bored to tears. Personally I found it mildly interesting, but unless you're a fifties genre movies completist you might as well skip it. |

A great Columbo episode. One of my favorites. I chose to watch this episode for this marathon, because it was the last episode, when Columbo was still a TV series. What followed were TV movies. And as I have seen the last TV movie not long ago, I wanted to go further back in the series.
