I saw this many years ago, on Channel 2 KWGN of course, and haven't seen it since then. They had aired the sort of similar Man-Made Monster (1941) either before or after this one, and it was similar enough that I was a bit confused, thinking it was the same movie. Lon is Butcher Benton, brought back to life by a misguided scientist and his assistant (Joe Flynn, before he enlisted in McHale's Navy). He goes on a killing spree before Joe Friday, I mean Dick Chasen stops him and gets the girl. At least the movie has a small bit at the end to wrap things up. They probably had to have that end part there, since the movie had a scant 72 minute running time.It's not a bad movie. Lon does not have a lot of dialog, but the movie works well enough. It's not great, but I have seen worse. The cast is competent and it doesn't get too boring. The concept has been around for quite a while, that is for sure.
