The most recent title in the SHOCK! package was DANGER WOMAN, and he played the villain. And Robert Armstrong had an even better showcase in THE SON OF KONG, with the adorable Helen Mack (MYSTERY OF THE WHITE ROOM).kochilltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589405220008327551.post-70020127970914217902012-01-05T18:22:31.289-06:002012-01-05T18:22:31.289-06:00Milburn Stone, of course, also appeared in the Inn...Milburn Stone, of course, also appeared in the Inner Sanctum programmer THE FROZEN GHOST. As to Robert Armstrong, I'm always happy when he turns up.

THE MAD GHOUL seems to be curiously underrated even today, perhaps because it was a rare Universal that failed to warrant a sequel. Among those low grade mad doctors at PRC, George Zucco has his best starring showcase (apart from THE MUMMY'S HAND), and a better than usual cast sees Milburn Stone working in tandem with a young Charles McGraw, plus the added bonus of Robert Armstrong as a reporter who gets more than he bargained for in a shocking plot twist. Not to mention Rose Hobart and top billed David Bruce, whose only other genre role came in the later CALLING DR. DEATH.kochilltnoreply@blogger.com
