Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man / House of Frankenstein Reviews
Definitely a guilty pleasure
Both flicks VASTLY inferior to the original "Wolf Man" & the 3 previous Frankenstein movies, but nevertheless they're a fond memory from childhood TV-watching. Pure fun hokey hokum. Poor Lugosi was pretty "long-in-the-fang" when he played Frankie, & his stunt double very visibly played the part in most of the scenes in the movie. Plus Lugosi's Frankie went blind at the conclusion of the previous "Son Of Frankenstein" & that supposedly explained why he was shambling wildly about, at one point not recognizing Chaney, etc., but the explanation (& Lugosi's dialogue) were supposedly cut from the film. Moving on, it's HIGH-larious how the(hapless-as-actor)Chaney transforms into a werewolf in a wife-beater T-shirt, his jammies, or whatever, & then apparently takes time AS A WEREWOLF to change into a black shirt. plus, the decrepit Maria Ouspenskya as Maleva the Gypsy still somehow manages to give off some granny sexuality. She must have been a hottie when a young woman! LOL!!
Good fun
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is patchy, taking a little long to get going, and with a few lulls here and there. Still, it's fun, and it's nice to see Lugosi, having turned down the role of the Monster in 1931, finally step into Karloff's oversized boots.
House of Frankenstein is pacier and more entertaining all round, starring Karloff as a mad scientist bringing the Frankenstein Monster back to life, with the Wolf Man and an appearance from Dracula thrown in for good measure.
