Biography

William Beaudine naît le 15 janvier 1892 à New York. Il commence une carrière d'acteur burlesque au temps du muet mais en 1916 il réalise son premier film. Ses premières réalisations, muettes, lui permettent de diriger des acteurs tels que Mary Pickford dans Little Annie Rooney, W. C. Fields dans The Old Fashioned Way ou Harry Langdon. Il tourne plus de deux cents films, toujours dans un temps très rapide, entre deux jours et deux semaines. Il réalise de nombreux films fantastiques en y développant toujours un aspect comique ainsi que des comédies burlesques comme celles mettant en scène les Bowery Boys.
Il travaille pour des producteurs spécialisés dans la série B comme la Monogram ou la P.

During the late 1880s, Dr Frankenstein’s evil granddaughter Maria has moved to the American West with her brother Rudolph, in order to use the prairie lightning storms in her experiments on immigrant children snatched from a dying town. Maria is very much in charge, killing the children and replacing their brains with artificial ones, intending to revive them as her slaves. Rudolph however, is reluctant to help his sister, but is too afraid of her to do otherwise. After a number of failures (owing to Rudolph secretly poisoning the victims as soon as his sister revives them), they are finding it increasingly difficult to hide the trail of bodies. Down the road, Mañuel Lopez and his wife Nina decide to leave town with their daughter Juanita because of the frequent disappearances, the latest of which is that of their son.
