Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man

Two of Universal’s biggest monsters collide in _Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man_. After discovering that he’s immoral, Lawrence Talbot journeys to Castle Frankenstein in search of Dr. Frankenstein’s notes on creating life; but instead he finds the Monster himself. Lon Chaney, Jr. reprises his role as Talbot and Bela Lugosi takes on the Frankenstein role. The performances are pretty good, and the script does a fairly decent job of resurrecting Talbot and at finding a reason for him to cross paths with Frankenstein. However, there’s a little bit of a bait-and-switch going on, as the story’s more about discovering Frankenstein’s secret journal than the monsters fighting. But the Frankenstein/Wolf Man fight does come, and doesn’t disappoint. Fun and entertaining, _Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man_ is a well-crafted film that enriches Universal’s Monster series.

This is pretty bland even though Lon Chaney, Jr. tries his best to prop up Bela Lugosi's subpar Frankenstein's Monster. More angry mobs go after the Frankenstein's again, this time it's Baroness Elsa Frankenstein who feels their wrath. The fight between the Monster and the Wolfman in the last few minutes is fun and the miniature effects of the castle and the dam were really cool.
