Speaking of Jean Yarbrough, I would love to do a series on his work with Rondo Hatton sometime. House of Horrors (1946) and The Brute Man (1946) are films that seem destined for this blog. I've never seen Yarbrough's The Creeper (1948)--a film you could see Hatton in had he not died two years before it--is another film I'd love to evaluate. Prolific filmmakers like Yarbrough aren't all that distinctive although their work spanned decades into television which gave a lot of work to those like him and John Brahm, talented journeymen directors. Staying busy directing every kind of genre film, Yarbrough could make a living. I plan to avoid Hillbillies in a Haunted House as long as possible, though.
