Tales of Frankenstein (1958)

A Shame This Pilot Was Never Picked Up

Deeply Gothic atmosphere, well casted (acted out) and a rather interesting story. I wish this one was picked up by any studio and made into a series - even if it was a short lived.

Don Megowan is The Monster. I really enjoyed watching his portrayal - very much like Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr, Glenn Strange and yes even Bela Lugosi. The classic Universal Monster  is back in action in this pilot.

If you loved the the older Universal Frankenstein films then this pilot you should enjoy. It's like watching a short 30 minute Universal Monster movie.

Hammer-Universal did it again!! But sadly the TV series was never made.

8/10
