The idea of a mad scientist controlling a monster is staple in Science-Fiction and Horror. Also the sleep-walker falls in love with a girl in which he has know business with another topic use in horror like Frankenstein (1931), Creature from the black Lagoon (1954) and most notably King Kong (1933)
