Plot[edit]
Dr. Markoff (J. Carrol Naish) has concocted a formula that spreads a hideous disease named acromegaly - which extends bones and distorts facial features. Markoff has no moral dilemma in experimenting on unsuspecting human subjects. His amoral behavior assumes monstrous dimensions when famed concert pianist Lawrence (Ralph Morgan) is injected with the doctor's disease-inducing serum. In return for an antidote, Markoff intends to exact more than his pound of flesh by extorting a fortune from Lawrence and demanding the hand of the musician's pretty daughter Patricia (Wanda McKay).[2]
Monster Maker workouts utilize standard gym equipment (i.e. Barbell, dumbbells, pullup bar, bench and resistance bands). Machine use is limited to a lat pulldown and cable hi/low pulley however both of these can be easily substituted for bands and a pullup bar, making this program capable of being performed anywhere. The disfiguring disease of acromegaly-which grotesquely extends the bones and distorts one's facial features-was the 'gimmick' in the PRC horror opus The Monster Maker. Carroll Naish stars as.

Lowly PRC hadn't released a horror picture in nearly 17 months, having spent most of 1943 substantially expanding their capabilities by purchasing the bankrupt Chadwick Studio (a poverty row operation that specialized in renting stages and production equipment to low-budget producers along Gower) for $305,000. While critics, what few that would review a PRC release, complained about the film's lack of action, production values were noted to be somewhat higher than earlier releases. The working title of this film was The Devil's Apprentice.[3]
The film holds an extremely low 3% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.7/10 on the Internet Movie Database.
