Okay, I want to get this out there straight away, I do not think that this movie belongs on this listing. Oh lots of people think that it’s part of the secret theme but I disagree. However in the spirit of inclusiveness I will write a few brief words about this oddball movie.

Doctor X is a pre-code thriller/horror/sf/comedy movie and it works about as well as a mash up of such disparate genres can be expected to function. It star Lionel Atwell, who also appears in one of my favorite of the classic Universal Frankenstein film, Son of Frankenstein. It also stars Fay Wray of King Kong fame. This is a film that deals with murder, prostitution, and even cannibalism. Since it was made before rigid enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code it is more daring than many classic films but is rather tame by modern conventions.

The monster important take away from this film is that a not point in it does the titular Doctor X create a person or any sort of creature. He does create synthetic flesh with which he creates artificial limbs and masks, but not living, independent beings.
