Dr Pretorius is probably the cat who changed the hair color of Dr. Frankenstein's bride to be.
Watched The Invisible Woman 1940. I wouldn't say it's a horror film, but it's in the Invisible Man series, so it sort of qualifies.
I really dig this movie. The cast is great (John Barrymore, Shemp. and the wicked witch of the west, talk about eclectic), it's really fast paced and only an hour long. It could've easily been stretched out to a hour and a half, but I guess they weren't allowed. Some of the dialogue is a bit corny, but not so bad that it effects the enjoyment of the movie. And I know that the womens suffrage movement went down in the teens, but from the movies I've watched from the 30's and 40's women always played the roles where they were either meek and ineffective, or they were trying to hustle some guy out of money. This movie wasn't like that at all. Kitty Karrol was kicking her boss in the ass, talking trash to the cat with the moustache, and making him jump through hoops to prove himself. So I was pretty fascinated from that aspect in itself.
The one thing it was lacking was the whole "race against the clock" aspect from The Invisible Man, The Invisible Man Returns, and even Abbot and Costello Meet the Invisble Man. You become invisble, then you have to find a cure before you go bat shit crazy.
