The last half could almost be considered a comedy after the Ghoul dies and they're all fighting over who will keep the diamond and which one of them has it. It starts us out thinking Karloff's undead character will kill them all off to get his diamond back and it never happens. He seems to have strangled a woman in an elaborate scene and then she gets up and walks away, says, "No, I wasn't hurt. He only frightened me." Had a lot of possibilities in the serious realm, but maybe the budget was too small to have them filmed.
