In The Ape Man , an lesson of in the raw folly from 1943 , Bela “ Dracula ” Lugosi finds himself turned into an “ ape military man ” due to some form of mad science accident . After puttering about in his research laboratory don gorillaface , he realizes that he only needs a bunch of spinal fluid to make himself human again . So he starts assault humans with his Gorilla gorilla buddy ( whom he in reality kip with in that cage at dark ) , take in out their spinal fluid , and whining about how “ it ’s not enough . ” Finally , as you may see in this climactic scene , he bewitch a lady who refuses to lease him suck spine . He thread up duking it out over her with his gorilla pal . I just love all the run and scream and gorilla noises . obviously this flick did so well that in 1944 Lugosi asterisk as a different mad scientist in Return of the Ape Man — he and a sidekick decide to transfer a “ less primitive ” brain into the body of a caveman and the sport begins . This was n’t even Lugosi ’s first gorilla tale — that honor goes to his star routine in Murders in the Rue Morgue ( 1932 ) , where he plays a unhinged scientist who wants to put the blood line of a gorilla into the dead body of a nubile , caged - up woman in social club to create some kind of hybrid .
