The inventive director Roy William Neill makes the first of the Universal Monster rallies an exciting and surprisingly scary thrill-ride. Lon Chaney's Wolf Man just happens to bump into the Frankenstein monster and in this particular universe, it all seems quite natural. Patrick Knowles plays the doctor who seeks to cure Chaney and revive the monster - now played by Bela Lugosi for the first and only time. The unnerving graveyard scene in which two ill-advised thieves desecrate the Wolf Man's tomb is a highlight of Universal horror.

Joe Dante is wonderful in every way, and I could listen to him talk about films all day. This channel deserves far more subscriptions and views!

@NunoFM2005 4 года назад

I agree with you. Joe Dante is GREAT!

@dbwindhorst1 4 года назад

He is, so could I, and it does.

@jerryrichardson2799 3 года назад

Totally agree.

I've been enjoying these fun reviews and somehow never subscribed. Thanks for the suggestion. Done and done.

This was the first Crossover in the Universal Monster Series. And It was a Standout.

@varanid9 5 месяцев назад

Actually, it's the first crossover movie of any franchise that I can think of.

@dannadaable 4 года назад

The first scenes at the opening of the movie in the grave yard is Iconic. It's been used in many local TV shows as the introduction for local shows.

I once saw House of Dracula on late-night TV when I was about 10. There's a scene where someone is winched off a cliff down to a sea cave where the Wolf Man is hiding. I wet my pants because I was too scared to go upstairs on my own to the toilet. I held it and held it until my bladder let go. I loved Universal horror!

@danielsweet858 Год назад

My all time favorite horror movie! ❤️

@CJBrowninLV 4 года назад

Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman is my favourite (you got Chaney Jr + Lugosi with a solid Cast!)🖤🦇

@JohnInTheShelter 4 года назад

Fun, but needed a lot more Frankenstein vs. Wolf Man fighting. The fight barely gets going when the place gets flooded.

@wahoo7654 4 года назад

Yes, but, in everybody's favorite Frankenstein film, the Monster's Mate only appears in the last scene of "Bride of Frankenstein." The story structure is the same here. Where could they go with it, once the monsters square off in battle? The bursting dam almost saves the picture at the climax.

@queenglamazona8789 Год назад

They didn't want a Clear Winner at the end of the Movie. Though Frankenstein is obviously stronger than the Wolfman.

@Dohsoda 4 года назад

Before "Freddy v Jason", "Alien v Predator", and "Batman v Superman", there was "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf-Man".

@borusa32 2 года назад

In terms of fights between monsters this movie takes the medal-they really go for it in the last reel.

@lylegorch5956 4 года назад

Great to hear about Roy William Neal. I used to spot his name on the credits and think, gee, he's really good, better than his material. Sort of like Roy Ward Baker. Hmmmmm, coincidence? I think not.

@AnthonySmith-ty7ij 4 года назад

The beginning of the end of Universal's golden age of horror with this film. This would be the penultimate film for Bela Lugosi at Universal, because of what they did to this film and would not return to Universal until Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, five years later. Still fine to watch though.

@andrewflashchannelgibbs5384 4 года назад

I love this movie. This is partly due to my home city of Cardiff, Wales, gets mentioned so prominently.😀 I forget that Cardiff was world famous in the coal exporting days. Great movie and always great to see Joe Dante.

@willlyon7129 Год назад

Probably the first shared universe/crossover ever created in film history.

@mjonir62 3 года назад

Denis Hoey complete with his Inspector Lestrade bowler from the Universal Sherlock Holmes series appears in this one. Probably shot on the same sets at Universal around the same time as 'Sherlock Holmes Faces Death'. Roy Wm Neill was indeed an underrated director.

@randyacuna3248 2 года назад

When I was about 4 or 5 years old , in the Los Angeles area on TV in the early 1960s, we had Shock Theater on channel 5 and they ran universal horror movies and this film was always my favorite. It's because of this film I because a horror fan forever and now I am a fan of all old movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s which was the Golden age. There are more better movies that I like better but Frankenstein meets will always have a special place in my heart.

@OWR0406 4 года назад

Lugosi was one of the actors thought out originally for the Frankenstein monster in the early 30‘s before Karloff got the role.

@aaronmastriani1556 4 года назад

My dad really, really liked this one. I've never been too crazy about it, but it is a good looking production. Chaney's great.

@tonysantiago255 3 года назад

I discovered that fan made scene that was cut from the movie and it well worth a view, particularly if you're a fan of Frankenstein meets the Wolf man. It has to be gratifying to get a mention from a professional of Joe Dante's level. He and John Landis are my favorites on this channel.

This was my introduction to horror at age 6 and began my love affair with werewolves, Universal, Lon Chaney, jr., and Hans J. Salter. I still have the original VHS cassette that I first saw this film on. It is a mess, but I love it!

@nathanielfincher4394 4 года назад

Mr. Dante, would be awesome if you shot a new Frankenstein v Wolfman. Black and white and filled with camp. I'm sure It would be amazing.

Love, love love this. My intro to Universal's monsters was "House of Frankenstein" which is like watching "The Avengers" before the first Marvel Studio films. Seeing the beginnings of this early franchise add so much color and meaning to my young horror movie experiences... and really makes me appreciate Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" even more. "Trailers from Hell" provides an immense service to the motion picture genre industry,

@1dbanner 2 года назад

@tadimaggio 4 года назад

Little-known trivia fact: Ilona Massey, who played Baroness Elsa von Frankenstein in this film, is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Her last husband (she had several) was a major general in the United States Air Force Reserve, and she is buried next to him. On a totally unrelated topic: did anyone in the various Wolf Man movies, in which Larry Talbot moans endlessly about wanting to die, ever ask: "Why the %#÷=(& don't you just forge a silver bullet and shoot yourself in the heart?" None of the other Universal monsters were curable, but the Wolf Man was. "The Twilight Zone" had the same problem with its classic episode "Long Live Walter Jameson", where the ageless man, played by Kevin McCarthy, claims to long for death; the only excuse he can make for not killing himself is "I'm too much of a coward". Twenty-five centuries seems like an awfully long time to be unable to overcome an inhibition like that.

@queenglamazona8789 Год назад

I'm still wondering how the Wolfman still had shoes after most of his Transformations.
