George Zucco is a masterful horror story-teller. There are no words to describe his amazing acting style as well as his screen presence. “Imposing” doesn’t do him justice!

I have to agree with Sherbert the Cat's short review. The movie about twins, good and bad, is a well written vampire thriller, and all around, much better than the average PRC film. George Zucco gives a standout performance as the twins Dr. Lloyd and Dr. Elwyn Clayton. David Frye gives a committed performance as the evil Elwyn's hunchbacked servant Zolarr. Mary Carlisle, beautiful as ever, plays Gayle Clayton and Nedrick Young plays her fiance Dr. David Bentley - both give good performances. And, Fern Emmett gives a properly almost-ditzy edge to Kate, who knows something more about vampires…

George Zucco is great, he has this disarming way of simply stating what's apparent and not giving any information away so he's very believable as both actor and as a character making a lie. Regarding the comment about hunchbacks below, we don't see them as much today because the conditions that create it are preventable (mostly) and curable (mostly), so as this technology has evolved the presence of people like this in our society has become less so. In the days when this film was made, rich people had servants (many still do duh), and some made servants of people like this (some were even…

While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, Dead Men Walk, is a fine example of a well made horror movie that fell through the cracks. It has a well written suspenseful plot that clips along at a brisk pace. Great casting too!

Twins, one of whom is a vampire, are well played George Zucco in a dual role. A middle-aged Dwight Frye is fun in his accustomed role as the vampire's henchman. The rest of the cast is adequate. Low budget yet, typical of PRC, the sets are well done. The plot is a bit shaky at times, but it's made up for by some highly atmospheric scenes that lead to an intense climax. The bottom line is fun for classic vampire fans. For others, not so much.
