    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Several photos exist showing the deleted scenes (the fireside chat between the Monster and Talbot beneath the icy catacombs of the castle for instance; where Talbot & the audience learn that the Monster is still blind). This has been confirmed by several sources, including screen writer Curt Siodmak. In the mid-'80s a search was made through the Universal Studio vaults for a print or negative of the uncut prerelease version. As of this date, it has not yet been found.
    • Goofs
      The Wolf Man falls into the ice caverns beneath Frankenstein castle. Larry Talbot awakens the next morning wearing shoes, which The Wolf Man didn't have on.
    • Quotes

      Inspector Owen: This is Inspector Owen speaking, in Cardiff. Have you got anything in your files about a man named...

      Llanwelly Police Sergeant: Lawrence Talbot? Why of course, he lived here.

      Inspector Owen: Well, that's all right, then. We've got him up here in our hospital.

      Llanwelly Police Sergeant: I wouldn't want him in *our* hospital; he died four years ago!

    • Crazy credits
      A scientist's hand is shown pouring a chemical into a flask, which bubbles over in vapor that coalesces into the film's title and cast names.
    • Alternate versions
      Original screen prints of the film included Lugosi speaking dialog as the Monster. Apparently, preview audiences, consisting of Universal studio's executives and employees, found Lugosi's Hungarian accent hilarious coming from the Monster's mouth, so Lugosi's voice was deleted.

    Universal Fun!

    Though not nearly up to the standards and fun level of "Ghost Of Frankenstein", this neat little Universal gem has it's heart in the right place! Wonderful opening sequence in the graveyard, plenty of atmosphere, typically gorgeous Universal studio sets and it's famous monsters! What more can you ask for? Chaney is superb as the tormented Larry Talbot but Bela leaves quite a bit to be desired as the monster. Universal would have been better off using Glen Strange one film earlier instead of waiting for 1944's "House Of Frankenstein". All in all, a fun film that staggers a bit after a rip-roaring start!
