This was sure interesting definitely not the masterpiece I've seen people claim for it to be, but still good nonetheless this movie has the two titans of classic horror Bela Lugosi who is most known for playing dracula and Boris Karloff who is most known for playing Frankenstein. The story and themes that it has is pretty heavy for 1930s, Boris Karloff plays a satanic occult leader and Bela Lugosi plays a man with PTSD that has a extreme fear of black cats. and I find it so insane how Boris Karloff's Character in the movie stacked his house with black cats to be able to use them to attack Bela Lugosi's character, cause he knew he would come back for revenge for killing his wife and daughter who he ended up lying about killing and married his daughter. And the implied necrophilia this movie shows is fucking heavy for 1934 I've only watched mainly the classic monster movies and it's not like this in terms of having crazy themes. The real highlight in this movie to me is at the end of the film where Bela Lugosi's character skins Boris Karloff's character alive for revenge and it has a creepiness factor to it cause he's laughing so Maniacal and smiling while doing it, overall I reccomend this movie if you're into classic horror its definitely a good one.
