+1 for Rondo Hatton...why in god's name Kia thought it would be a good idea to name a car after him is beyond me. More appropriately, they hold the Rondo awards yearly to celebrate various achievments in the Horror Film industry.

Hatton was only in maybe a half dozen movies, all of them bad. Between the worst production values (Universal was proud to have a 'monster' that they didn't need to apply makeup to-a real money saver!) and Hatton's awful acting they can be a chore to sit through. The bet of these movies is 'House of Horrors'. Martin Koslek (another creepy actor!) saves the day in that one-his hamming it up with the deadpan Hatton makes it the wierdest buddy film ever made!
