Don Griffin (played by Don Glut) invents a serum that will make a person invisible. When his test subject (played by John (Erik) Shiozaki) escapes; Griffin injects himself, making himself invisible. He locates the test subject, and kills him, by running him over using a car. Griffin then dresses himself with clothing and bandages. He then attacks another teenager - (played by Wayne Moretti). The teenager locates Griffin and stabs him. As Griffin dies, he becomes visible. An insane teenager, Don Griffin, invents a serum that makes him invisible. The Day I Vanished (1959) <br/><br/>*** (out of 4) <br/><br/>Another charming short from the early days of Donald F. Glut. This one here has him playing a boy who injects himself with a serum and soon he is turned invisible where he seeks revenge against a couple other teens. THE DAY I VANISHED is obviously Glut's homage to James Whale's THE INVISIBLE MAN. If you're going into this amateur short expecting something along the lines of an actual Whale film then you're obviously going to be missing out. This is an early film and a kid in his back yard playing and on that level the movie is quite charming and will certainly appeal to fans of classic horror. There's obviously nothing ground-breaking going on here but I thought there were all sorts of creative moments throughout including the scene where the invisible boy becomes visible.
