Night Monster (1942)
4/10
Unusual Monster Yarn.

Ralph Morgan plays millionaire recluse Kurt Ingston, who was left a hopeless cripple by the bungling of three doctors(played by Lionel Atwill, Frank Reicher, and Francis Pierlot) who are nonetheless invited to his mansion in the swamps. They accept, and unsurprisingly are murdered one by one. Meanwhile, a mystic is also in attendance, and seems to have the ability to make a bleeding skeleton materialize! Does any of this connect to the murders, or is another party responsible? Strange film also costars Bela Lugosi, once again wasted in a supporting role. Film has some imagination in its plot and ultimate resolution, but is very far-fetched, bordering on absurd. Some good atmosphere compensates though.
