YMMV / Bowery At Midnight

• Complete Monster: Professor Brenner, aka "Karl Wagner", is a reputed psychologist and soup kitchen owner who uses his charitable activities as a front for his card-carrying villainy. A total sociopath responsible for a slew of robberies across the Bowery, Wagner always leaves an associate dead after each score—either killing them himself, or ordering them murdered as they beg for their lives—and has killed so many of his men he's filled a literal graveyard in the basement of his soup kitchen. Not afraid to murder the innocent either, Wagner murders a student of his who finds out the truth, but not before tormenting the man with the knowledge of his final seconds on Earth and allowing him to panic for his own sadistic amusement. In a last bid to escape, Karl murders even his own devoted wife, who had nothing but love for the man she thought she knew.
• Magnificent Bastard: The devious Doc Brooks, chafing at the treatment he receives from his sociopathic boss Karl Wagner, decides to get back at him. Karl trusts Doc with the cadavers of the many people he's murdered, where for the entire film Doc experiments on them under Karl's nose until he's brought them back as zombies. When Karl's scheme falls apart, the Doc convinces Karl to hide in the cellar—where he's also hidden the zombies—who rip Karl apart as Doc watches, chuckling.
