NEW ERA – SAME TERROR!
The Frankenstein Monster, one of Universal’s top attractions throughout the 1930s, began a second round of fright films in 1942’s The Ghost of Frankenstein. With an invigorating dose of Saturday Matinee–style action movie attributes (plus a new Monster, Lon Chaney), it ushered in a new, crowd-pleasing epoch of Frankentertainment. A hit in its day, it remains a fan favorite in the 21st century.
This tribute contains a production history, troves of photos and fun facts, and many exhilarating extras.
“Story values, incident, cast, production values and pacing [are crammed] into its fast-moving six reels.”
– William K. Everson
