Dracula vs. The Wolfman vs. The Monster | Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein | Fear

[@MrMojoman1976]

I love how they were able to comedy through Bud and Lou yet maintain the seriousness of the established monster lore up to that point . Wolfman diving off the balcony to get Dracula is a great image .

[@kali3665]

You’re absolutely correct the movie was a success universal it was in serious trouble in bankruptcy but what happened was the movie it was so success a good university out of bankruptcy awesome movie…💀🎃

[@neftaliriverajr503]

@@franklujan8304it’s ironic you mentioned this because years ago before this film, Universal in the early 1930’s was going downhill in financial gane and yet when they decided to launch (from the silent films era but with talking pictures) they took a chance with monster films starting with DRACULAAA 🧛‍♂️ ⚰️ and that movie gave great financial success in the theaters that Universal continued there Monster genres “which in turn”saved Universal Pictures from financial ruined.

It's a pretty interesting plot point in this that Talbot wants to stop Dracula, but knows he can't control the werewolf transformation. So he's really just trying to get into a position where he can _aim_ the werewolf transformation at Dracula and rely on the fact that it's too wild to be controlled, can overpower the vampire physically and is immune to the effects of being bitten if that happens.

After Karloff, Glenn Strange looked the best in the Frankenstein monster make-up. Even Jack Pierce, the make-up artist who created most of the Universal monsters, said that Strange had the perfect face for the monster. If you were a "monster-kid" growing up in the 1960s, it was mostly Glenn Strange's Frankenstein image that was used in the marketing of toys, models, magazines, board games, etc. during the "monster craze" of that era.
