Man Made Monster

VHS, 68 minutes, UNIVERSAL

It's dark and stormy night when a bus skids into a high-tension wire electrocuting all passengers but one: "Dynamo" Dan McCormick (Lon Chaney, Jr.), who survives because he's built up immunity to electricity through his carnival performances. Thus, Dan becomes the perfect specimen for the evil experiments of mad scientist Dr. Rigas (Lionel Atwill), who is working to create a race of electrically-controlled men to do his bidding. The innocent Dan agrees to let Dr. Rigas study him but soon turns into a voltage addict manipulated by the doctor's commands. Soon, Dan becomes a monster, whose fiery touch can, and does, kill. His powerful currents send him on a rampage through the countryside and lead to an edge of your seat climax! Lon Chaney, Jr. follows in his father's footsteps, expertly changing from man to monster. With terrific special affects and a fine cast, "Man Made Monster" is a first-rate chiller.
