house of dracula work from the same basic premise a house of frankenstein from the year before while namely that universal three most famous monster while dracula and frankenstein monster and the wolf man be appear in the movie together . naturally and the film be rather messy therefore and but the fact that all three monster be there be usually enough to ensure that the film sixty seven minute do not become boring . it obvious that the idea of make another monster mash come into the writer head before an actual plot do and a the yarn be give isn not exactly without hole . the plot see count dracula arrive at dr. edelman home ask for a cure for his vampirism . then and what can only be describe a a coincidence and see lawrence talbot and a. k. a. the wolf man turn up ask for a cure for his affliction . it turn out that dracula be on the prowl for edelman daughter and but talbot really be serious . when it turn out that he can not be stop from turn into a wolf and the wolf man throw himself into the sea . where he end up find frankenstein monster . overall and this film isn not as good a the early house of frankenstein . the 1944 film put it plot together good than this entry in the series do and a the plot here doesn not give equal time to each universal monster . dracula plot be the big at first and but soon fizzle out only to resurface at the end . the wolf man be the star of the show and but his story never really develops and and be essentially just another version of the plot he always find himself in . frankenstein monster be give the cold hand and a he appear in the movie merely a an afterthought and and an obvious excuse to ensure that all three monster appear in the movie . the story of the doctor who bind all three together be the most interesting and but this be a little disappointing a he isn not the reason why people will see this film . the acting be good enough and with john carradine show his sinister side and lon chaney jr once again make sure that his character be bath in tragedy . glenn strange be give nothing to do and and onslow stevens prove the real highlight a dr edelman . overall and this film would not do much for anyone that isn not a fan of universal horror while but a silly monster movie go and house of dracula be worth see .
