EDITOR’S NOTE: The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll was first on Chiller Theater on Saturday, November 22, 1963 at 3:00 p.m. It also aired on July 11, 1964 and February 20, 1965.

Janet Smith (Gloria Talbott) and her fiancee George Hastings (John Agar) arrive at the English manor house that she will inherit the next day. They’re met by her guardian Dr. Lomas (Arthur Shields), housekeeper Mrs. Merchant (Martha Wentworth), groundskeeper Jacob (John Dierkes) and Maggie (Molly McCard), who is Janet’s personal maid. They’re worried that she’s getting married so quickly, as she’s inheriting a sizeable sum of money, as well as another inheritance: she’s the daughter of Dr. Jekyll who was a werewolf, which is something new on me.

That night, Lomas hypnotizes Janet. Before bed, Maggie warns her that this is the night that her father rises from the tomb. When she sleeps, she dreams that she’s killed a woman. She wakes up to blood all over herself and a werewolf in her mirror. Ah, but is she just seeing things because of Lomas? Or has she really become a lycanthrope?

Shot in a house on 6th Street in Los Angeles, near Hancock Park, you can occasionally see late 50s cars through the windows, despite this being set in the past. After playing double features with The Cyclops, this was sold to TV by Allied Artists as part of their 22-film Sci-Fi for the 60s package which includes Terror In the Haunted House, House On Haunted Hill, Not of This Earth, The Hypnotic Eye, The Brain from Planet Arous, The Atomic Submarine, Attack of the Crab Monsters, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, The Bat, Caltiki the Immortal Monster, The Cyclops, The Cosmic Man, The Disembodied, Frankenstein 1970, World Without End, War of the Satellites, From Hell It Came, The Giant Behemoth, The Indestructable Man, Spy In the Sky and Queen of Outer Space. Obviously, Pittsburgh’s Chiller Theater purchased this package of films.
