Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man
The inventive director Roy William Neill makes the first of the Universal Monster rallies an exciting and surprisingly scary thrill-ride. Lon Chaney’s Wolf Man just happens to bump into the Frankenstein monster and in this particular universe, it all seems quite natural. Patrick Knowles plays the doctor who seeks to cure Chaney and revive the monster – now played by Bela Lugosi for the first and only time. The unnerving graveyard scene in which two ill-advised thieves desecrate the Wolf Man’s tomb is a highlight of Universal horror.
