House of Frankenstein ( 1944 )

A Classic Universal Horror Film Worth Watching


This one is definitely worth watching. The story is interesting enough to keep you watching if you are into the classic Universal horror films. Love the eerie sets and special effects in this film.

I have to say that it's nice to see Karloff as the "Mad" Dr. Niemann instead of playing the role of Frankenstein's Monster (The Monster in HoF is played quite well by Strange). Karloff makes a great "Mad" Scientist. Chaney Jr plays the deeply sad and tormented Talbot/Wolf Man again while the evil Dracula is portrayed nicely by Carradine. Naish plays Daniel the side kick of Dr. Niemann - this character is heartbreaking.

I would recommend watching this film followed by the second House of Dracula.

9.5/10
