Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943)

Summary: In Llanwelly, Wales, grave robbers break into the crypt of Larry Talbot and he is revived by the light of the full moon. But at a hospital the authorities won’t believe he is Larry Talbot. He only wishes to die and free himself of the werewolf curse so he finds the old Gypsy woman Maleva who believes that Baron Frankenstein will hold the answers and they travel to Vasaria. There they find that the only Frankenstein descendant left alive is his grand-daughter Elsa. Larry finds the body of the monster encased in ice and revives him. The solution comes when Dr Mannering, who took care of Larry earlier, comes searching for him. Obtaining Frankenstein’s notebooks from Elsa, Mannering discovers a way to free Larry from the werewolf curse. The Fight is on!           Overall: It’s one of those movies where you thought it would be better than it ended up being. Sure we get the penultimate battle but the whole “dam” thing sorta took the fun out of it. We get more Chaney which is always good and even some Lugosi. It’s a decent film, worth a viewing!           Comparison: The Wolfman meets Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
