The Ghost Of Frankenstein (1942)

When the torch carrying villagers storm the Frankenstein castle and burn it down, the Monster (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the malevolent Ygor (Bela Lugosi) escape. They flee to the town where Frankenstein's son (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) runs a medical institute and blackmail him into giving the Monster a new brain. Directed by Erle C. Kenton, this was the fourth entry in Universal's Frankenstein franchise. As far as Frankenstein movies go, this one doesn't embarrass itself and it has some unsettling moments (the Monster's desire to have the brain of a little girl) and there's a genuinely creepy performance by Lugosi, more of a monster here than the poor creature. Still, it's a far cry from the artistry of the first two Frankenstein films. With Ralph Bellamy and Evelyn Ankers as the dreary lovers, Lionel Atwill, Doris Lloyd and Janet Ann Gallow.
