The saga from Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man drags on for an additional 90 minutes. All the usual stock characters are here, from the title baddies down to the de rigeur villagers. Heck, even Dracula (played by John Carradine, no less) makes a brief appearance. The basic story line is also strictly leftovers. The mad scientist (Boris Karloff, on the other side of the Tesla coils for a change) wants to put everyone’s brains in everyone else’s bodies. The Wolf Man wants to whine about how nice it would be to be dead. The fortune teller wants the Wolf Man (at least in his non-furry form). The hunchback wants the fortune teller. And Frankenstein’s monster mostly just seems to want to lie there, arising at the end just long enough to toss some villagers around and bring the plot to an end. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
