"They Did the Mash, They Did The Monster Mash..."
1 April 2006
This is a very fun movie from start to finish. Boris Karloff portrays the evil Dr. Niemann, who along with his hunchback assistant Daniel (portrayed with sensitivity by J. Carrol Nash) escapes from prison and decides to resurrect the Frankenstein monster in order to have the monster kill the men who sentenced him to prison. Along the way they run into Dracula, played by the sinister John Carradine, (who was good in every role he played, no matter how ridiculous the part) and also the Wolfman, played once again by Lon Chaney Jr., in his 3rd outing as the tormented Larry Talbott. The movie also includes Elena Verdugo, portraying a gypsy girl who is thrown in the mix for a romantic love triangle between the wolf man and the hunchback assistant. Glen Strange portrays the Frankenstein monster and really has little to do except towards the end of the film. This movie is so much fun because of all the monsters. They just need the mummy and the invisible man along to make the monster roster complete!!! Enjoy!
