How to Make a Monster (1958)

In the shadowy recesses of a bustling movie studio, eccentric make-up maestro Pete Dumond weaves his magic, breathing life into the grotesque visages of the silver screen's most beloved monsters. With a devotion to his craft that borders on obsession, Dumond has spent decades honing his skills, crafting the faces of nightmares that have captivated audiences across the globe. However, Dumond's world is shattered when the studio changes hands and a new management, blind to the allure of his monstrous creations, decides to veer away from horror, opting instead for the light-hearted allure of musicals. Upon hearing the news of his impending dismissal, the usually congenial Dumond spirals into a dark psychosis, fueled by a thirst for revenge on the executives who have dismissed his life's work as a passing trend. Armed with a potent concoction of hypnotic techniques and a revolutionary chemical formula of his own design, Dumond embarks on a chilling scheme. He manipulates the minds of the unsuspecting actors tasked with portraying the teenage incarnations of Frankenstein and the werewolf, transforming them into unwitting pawns in his diabolical game of retaliation. Dumond's once playful world of make-up and fantasy morphs into a sinister stage for his vengeance, offering a gripping tale of obsession, revenge, and the monstrous potential that lies within the human psyche.
