Tod Slaughter was never wellknown in the US However before Hammer Studios revived the genre in the late1950s Slaughter was British cinemas biggest if also only horror star Hed successfully toured numerous grisly vintage Victorian melodramas on the stage circuit for decades before someone thought of filming one in 1935 His surprise screen success resulted in ten such movies being released over the next five years until the advent of World War II soured the publics taste for such campy mayhem This later one directed as usual by Henry King was a bit glossier than most reflecting the stars peak popularity Here he plays a typical mustachetwirling dastardly villain a wealthy aristocrat of 1880 Paris who schemes to marry a bankers unwilling daughter by any means Meanwhile a series of murders are being committed by the mysterious wolf man known as Le Loup As the written prologue makes clear this feast of hammy hokum wasnt intended to be taken too seriously but audiences at the time found them enjoyably shuddersome all the same After his cinematic vogue ended Slaughter returned to the stage continuing to play villains such as demon barber Sweeney Todd and later had a television suspense series
