Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man was the first movie to introduce me to Universal Classic Monsters in the 60's. I'm now 65 and still love them!
-
"The ones who look like monsters aren't always the ones you should be scared of." A sad and frightening, yet true and poignant statement.
-
A&C may have been the the last nail in the coffin for the Universal series but you got to admit Mel Brooks gave it a proper burial in Young Frankenstein. Great video guys. One of your best.
-
Theres a line in one of the movies (possibly Son of Frankenstein?) where they explain that the scared villagers ended up calling the creature itself Frankenstein. I know that was probably done to tie in with the public perception that this is the monster's name, but from then on it is perfectly acceptable for people to know the monster as Frankenstein.
-
Excellently written, narrated, choice of clips and pacing.
-
Ever since I was young the last words the monster speaks “ we belong dead” always stuck with me
-
I believe that John Carradine appears as an uncredited role as one of the hunters who appear at the hermit’s home In The Bride of Frankenstein.
-
That was fun to see. I still enjoy the best of the Universal early run of the classic monsters. One of my favorite scenes is when the great Karloff as the monster first feels and then see's sunlight. His expression and need or yearning for more is powerful. Only his scene in the next movie, The BOF, crying at the compassion shown by the blind man while Ave Maria plays in the background equals the scene.
-
Someone put it best when they referred to "Bride Of Frankenstein", being the "Citizen Kane" of horror films. Truly a classic.
-
These old Universal monster films were my "true" babysitters every Saturday night. Our parents alway went out that night, my brother and I would have pizza and pepsi, bring down our blankets from upstairs, turn all the lights off, and watch Creature Features on WGN. Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Werewolf and Dracula, we loved them all.
-
Son of Frankenstein despite the inconsistencies is brilliant. And pretty much is the movie that helped create Young Frankenstein.
-
All of these movies are awesome and deserve absolutely nothing but praise and respect.
-
So...the REAL monster was Universal Studio system all along!
-
I’ve loved the Frankenstein movies for personal reasons when I was a child I was always taller than everyone else and I had no friends to me as a child these movies were relatable and made me feel that I wasn’t alone in this world.
-
The first 2 movies were great, true classics, I still watch them from time to time, and gods and monsters is a must watch movie
-
It's great to know that there are guys on YouTube with high standards for film.
-
Awesome video! "Bride Of Frankenstein" might just be the "Citizen Kane" of horror films. It's so different from its peers, something only James Whale could have come up with...An absolute classic!
-
Boris Karloff was an amazing actor!
-
Wow, what an excellent retrospective! Thanks for making this, guys! I showed my daughter Bride of Frankenstein a few years ago when she was a jaded teenager. She really enjoyed it and even managed to put her phone down during huge swaths of it.
-
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF-MAN doesn't do much for the series continuity, but you have to admit, it has some splendid moments - and the first 10-15 minutes are as scary as anything in the Universal universe!
