Entertaining shocker in which a lot of Monsters of the Universal Pictures reunite for the last in the Universal series , it deals with Count Dracula : John Carradine and Wolf Man : Lon Chaney Jr go to Doctor Edellman house : Onslow Stevens to cure their illness , but there things go wrong . There Count Dracula falls for a beautiful nurse and takes place twisted scientific experiments . While the mad doctor carries out his dastardly deeeds by reviving and working on the creature Frankenstein finely portrayed by ex-cowboy Glenn Strange , while Boris Karloff had made immortal 15 years earlier .
By the time this contribution to Universal Horror series came out , Hollywod audiences were no longer content with a monster , or even two. As producers joined three monsters , a hunchback woman and adding a mad doctor should prove enough for even the most avid terror fans. An all-star-cast helps deeply this horror festival along . Producers also threw in every available actor with an important reputation in the genre such as John Carradine , Lon Chaney Jr , Onslow Stevens , and Frankenstein is finely acted by ex-cowboy Glenn Strange. Not surprisingly things fuse here , there and everywhere in more ways than one . Once again all the Universal monsters get together for the last in the Universal series before they meet Bud Abbot and Lou Costello and their hilarious terror movies mostly directed by Charles Barton, in which appear as guest stars many actors from House of Dracula, such as : Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, Abott and Costello versus Dr Jekill and Mr Hyde , Abbott and Costello against the Invisible Man, Abbot and Costello against Mummy , among others . The picture with an atmospheric cinematography in Black and White was professionally directed by Erle C Kenton who made innumerable Terror films for the Universal studios , such as : The Ghost of Frankenstein, House of Frankenstein and the Cat Creeps. Rating 6/10 . Passable and acceptable. Essential and indispensable seeing for Universal Monsters series fans . Well worth watching .
