Trivia
Although Edwin Maxwell is credited as playing "The Maniac", it is Bela Lugosi himself playing the bulk of the role in the heavy makeup disguise---and his features can easily be recognized in spite of it, thanks to his mesmerizing "Dracula" stare. (There is no match for Edwin's eyes, nor with the rest of his facial features, with the maniac.)

Goofs
During the police interrogation approx 53 mins into the movie the character is asked by the police chief 'Where is the serum' The reply was meant to be 'in the laboratory' but a Malaprop occurred and the character replied 'In the lavatory'. The same Malaprop occurred again less than a minute later by the police officer who, holding Degar at gunpoint orders 'C'mon,where's the lavatory'?

Quotes
Martin the Chauffeur: I was right! When I said they was... undertakers!
Degar: Remember... you have seen... NOTHING!

Crazy credits
In the opening credits the actors are introduced with their character names only, not their real names. At the end the actors' names are listed but without their character names.

Lugosi at his staring best in this sadly little seen creepy old dark house chiller

A crazed knife wielding serial killer (Edwin Maxwell) is stalking a family and guests at an old dark house where there is the reading of a will.

Effective low budget programme horror film from Columbia Pictures with a good deal of ol' fashioned creepy and creaky style, not to mention Maxwell's face at the window. A turbaned Bela Lugosi as the mysterious and exotic butler gives out his signature stare with some gusto here.
