	Movies - House of Frankenstein

House of Frankenstein was an American horror film produced in 1944 by Universal Studios as part of its ongoing series of monster films. It is the first of three "multi-monster" films produced by the studio in the waning years of the Universal Monsters series. (The last two would be 1945's House of Dracula
and 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
.)

The film focuses on the exploits of the evil Dr. Neimann (played by Boris Karloff) as he revives not only the Frankenstein Monster (played for the first of three occasions by Glenn Strange), but also Count Dracula (now played by John Carradine, this is the original character's first Universal Studios appearance since the first Dracula
), and The Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.). Reportedly the character of The Mummy was also to have appeared, but the idea was dropped.

In 1997, the idea of featuring multiple classic monsters in one film was revived for the television mini-series House of Frankenstein 1997, and in 2004, the big-budget film Van Helsing
also revisited the idea using the same Monsters featured in House of Frankenstein. There was also a comedic stage show entitled House of Frankenstein which involved famous movie monsters such as the Count, Talbot, and the Phantom of the Opera coming to Victor Frankenstein's mansion to be cured of their respective ills.
