<p>The first films of prolific writer/director Jesus (Jess) Franco to be released in the U.S. were a series of similarly-themed black-and-white thrillers, starting with the surgical horror show <i>The Awful Dr. Orloff</i> (produced in 1962 by the French company Eurocine--then known as Eurocineac). The international success of that effort demanded a follow-up--yet the eventual "sequel" was one in name only. 1964's <i>El Segreto de Doctor Orloff</i> ("The Secret of Dr. Orloff") was released as <i>Dr. Orloff's Monster</i> in America, but the frail, bedridden Dr. Orloff seen in this film is neither the central character nor the same Dr. Orloff found in the previous outing.
