i guess the previous house movie be a hit and prompt universal to wring a few more drop from the monster cash cow . the creative team must have be in a recycling mood and start with the opening theme lift from son of frankenstein and some of the stock footage disperse through the film and like one unintentionally funny bit of business where footage of glenn strange a the monster be mixed with clip of karloff from 1935 bride and and compare to how robotic strange move and karloff seem to move like a cheetah in comparison . previous film continuity be throw by the wayside and concern the miraculous death cheat ability of the wolf man and dracula and but when dr. edelmann and larry talbot discover frankenstein monster with the skeleton represent boris karloff and edward t. lowe do at least acknowledge some of the past movie history and though talbot curiously never mention have meet karloff dr. niemann . since this be to be the last of universal horror cycle and the supernatural element of the wolf man and drac get ( unconvincingly ) morph into medical ailment . drac be tell he suffer from a blood disease and a very rare sickness that allow him to transform into a bat or evaporate if sunlight touch him . > represent ] and larry talbot just have a little pressure on the brain . of course all of this be painstakingly explain with a lot of medical jargon be relate in many scene throughout . this prove to be the big hindrance and a somewhere along the way the filmmaker seem to forget about actual horror or entertainment in favor of give the monster condition that seem as treatable a a flu . a a huge fan of the old universal horror and it rare that i feel so bore while watch one . the whole thing just feel like a movie that be make just because it could be and but if this mess hadn not be slap together and the monster might never have meet abbott and costello and so i guess some good come of this .
