MANIAC (1934)
1934's Maniac (not the 1980 video nasty) is a particularly early, exceptionally nasty update on Frankenstein, with a touch of Eyes Without A Face and an identity complex.
Maniac tells the tale of an ex-Vaudeville actor who finds gainful employment working for a physician. The actor decides being a doctor tops being a washed up Vaudevillian, so when the doctor perishes, the actor decides to make the switch. Maniac, aka Sex Maniac, is also noteworthy for its malice towards feline, with the quote "I think too highly of Satan to use cats for my experiments."
