Trivia:
This is the first Frankenstein movie to not feature a "Dr. Frankenstein." Lawrence Talbot seeks Dr. Frankenstein for help, but never does meet him. However, there is another "Frankenstein" - Baroness Elsa Frankenstein, played by Ilona Massey. more
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Larry Talbot frees Frankenstein's monster from the ice, he asks the monster where Dr. Frankenstein’s journal is as they walk into the remains of the castle. The audio is obviously dubbed in as Lon Chaney's mouth does not move. more

Dr. Frank Mannering: I can't do it! I can't destroy Frankenstein's creation. I've got to see it at its full power. more

Monsters galore - the outcasts unite to cause more terror, 2 January 1999
10/10
Author: foordie

The wolfman's desperation at again finding himself the terror of the full moon (after four years of peaceful sleep) prompts him to seek help from Dr Frankenstein thus giving us the vision of the two screen monsters together at last. In fact they seem the best of friends, the wolfman gently protecting the forlorn monster from public attack - yes, the village mob is at it again ! However, the young doctor soon puts an end to all that by recharging the monster's energy so we have a ring-side seat at the heavyweight fight. The various roars and expressions of the two are excellent as the stiff armed monster (the sweetly smiling Bela Lugosi) and agile wolf man (the great Lon Chaney with more imaginative hairiness in comparison to his first wolfish screen appearance) growl for territory. Great stuff from beginning to the sudden somewhat abrupt end - did they run out of ideas or money I wonder !
