Going Ape, Man

 

Between primate and scientist split,
Awful crimes this ape-guy does commit
Frankenstein might explain
Why a spine he must drain,
Why he climbs up so high, picks a nit.

Bela Lugosi and Minerva Urecal in The Ape Man ( William Beaudine; 1943).

Lab Rant

Half-human, he's very depressed
Was doomed when he dared to self-test
He knew it was risky
But soon he grew frisky
One assumes it put hair on his chest.

Doc Brewster (Béla Lugosi) turns himself into The Ape Man (William Beaudine; 1943).

Simple Simian

Is Lugosi affecting a limp?
Does he mosey erect like a chimp?
Is that fur at his cuffs
That's emerging like ruffs?
Heaven knows he's bedecked like a simp.

Béla Lugosi sports a frock coat in The Ape Man (William Beaudine; 1943).

The Apes of Wrath

A criminal scientist/monkey
And his simian, spine-snapping flunky
Two screwballs who kill
Tap fluids at will
It's flimsy, it's minor, it's clunky.

Dr. James Brewster (Bela Lugosi) spots his next victim in The Ape Man (William Beaudine; 1943). With Emil Van Horn in the ape suit. A Monogram release.

The Ape Man Cometh

This doctor's a cheap missing link
A schlocky old B movie fink
Commits crimes in a spree
Then he climbs in a tree
The blockhead should see a good shrink.
