House Of Frankenstein (1944)

A deranged scientist (Boris Karloff) escapes from prison along with his hunchbacked companion (J. Carrol Naish). He travels to the old Frankenstein castle where he hopes to find Dr. Frankenstein's records and thus continue his experiments. Directed by Erle C. Kenton, this is a rather silly entry in the Universal monsters franchise but diverting nonetheless. Not content with just one "monster", the film gives us three: Dracula (John Carradine), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange). If they had thrown in The Mummy, they could have padded out the film's running time to a full 90 minutes. The Dracula sequence almost feels like a prologue rather than an integral part of the narrative (just as well as Carradine is no Bela Lugosi) which focuses more on the Wolf Man and Frankenstein monster. For fanboys of the Universal monsters only. With Elena Verdugo, Lionel Atwill, George Zucco, Sig Ruman and Anne Gwynne.
