Trivia
During filming of more than one scene Evelyn Ankers was trying to appear menacing and resentful towards Anne Gwynne. The two actresses were best friends and so both found it difficult to keep a straight face during these scenes and would begin laughing uncontrollably.

Goofs
When Paula phones Reed, we hear the distinct "click" of a hang-up. But when he arrives home, he finds her passed out with the receiver still in her hand.

Quotes
Grace Gunnison: Ilona, there's something about your smile right now that makes me think of Jack the Ripper.

Alternate versions
Some TV prints delete the brief "Inner Sanctum" prologue.

6/10

A surprisingly tolerable yarn.

"The Inner Sanctum" films usually failed to live up to anyone's expectations. Out of the six movies made from this series, only two are worth bothering with. "Weird Woman" is a pretty good one. Once again, Lon Chaney Jnr is the leading man as he plays a college professor who is the subject and target for petty jealousy and bigotry from his colleagues and students. As a result of this, his wife employs Witchcraft so as to protect her husband.

Evelyn Ankers is completely cast against type as the main villain of the piece. She plays her role well.
