house of horrors (1946, d. Jean Yarbrough) Struggling, starving, and mocked throughout the NYC modern art scene by critics & fellow-artists alike, sculptor Marcel De Lange (Martin Kosleck, nine months after playing the knife-throwing ex-plastic surgeon/wax museum sculptor in THE FROZEN GHOST) is contemplating a late-night suicidal plunge when ...
CI readers are familiar with the case of actor Rondo Hatton (1894-1946), another victim of acromegaly who was exploited by Hollywood in such films as [Sherlock Holmes and] The Pearl of Death (1944), Jungle Captive (1945), House of Horrors (1946), and The Spider Woman Strikes Back (1946).
I enjoyed House of Horrors; Thankfully it was made by Universal, so the sets were superior to what PRC would have provided.Quite apart from the music and camerawork.It was the sort of plot PRC might have woven, but the Universal films,including this one, have a certain feel, perhaps best seen in the Sherlock Holmes series.I thought the casting was good too.
Most of his work-- most of any make-up artist's work-- was straight make-ups and glamor make-ups. Yes, the odd character here and there made him high-visibility because of their grotesquery, but whether it was 1931, 1939, 1946 or 1959, the bulk of any make-up department's job was simply making actors look good on screen.

House of Horrors (1946) Kitty!
This was the follow-up to HOUSE OF HORRORS and the second and last of Universal’s planned series featuring Rondo Hatton as The Creeper. Hatton died of a heart attack related to his acromegaly not long after making THE BRUTE MAN, which was his last film. It’s the shortest of all the B-movies I’ve seen recently, at only 58 minutes.
Ad from The Film Daily, April 1946: Al Montefalco's participation in the ballyhooing of DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS is interesting, insofar as he subsequently employed some of the original artwork for a double-bill of MURDER IN THE RED BARN and THE GREEN SCORPION that he distributed during 1947/48. THE GREEN SCORPION was a previously unknown ...
