It's the "anything for a buck" mentality that still permeates the film industry today. So little imagination that to copy is the only way to go. Take all the monsters, played by different actors down on their luck, and throw them at the audience. Do a good job of promoting the film, with evocative posters and neat trailers, and hope the Saturday morning crowd shows up. There isn't much to this film. At the center is a hunchback who uses the little power he has to strike out at the world. The rest is predictable shtick as the entire bunch are let loose on the world. I agree with a previous commentator who said that this may have been a last hurrah for the whole genre; at least at Universal. Of course, it's fun to see how Hollywood makeup could do, but as for a plot and a story, the hype is better than the product.
