| House of Frankenstein | comment |
House of Frankenstein is a Universal Horror Monster Mash movie from the year 1944.Few years have passed after the brawl between the Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man. The film opens with Mad Scientist Dr. Niemann (Boris Karloff) escaping a prison, where he was sent after experimenting with the dead, with a hunchbacked murderer Daniel. After taking over a travelling "Chamber of Horrors", Niemann sets out to do the first thing on his mind: Revenge upon those who sent him away for fifteen years.He finds that the main event of his newly acquired sideshow, Dracula's (John Carradine) staked corpse, is pretty much real and sends him after his first target in the town of Riegelberg. After that business, Niemann sets out to village of Frankenstein (previously known as Vasaria) and finds the bodies of Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the Monster (Glenn Strange) encased in ice under the remains of Ludwig Frankenstein's sanitarium. He decides to revive the Monster and promises to help Lawrence Talbot on breaking his werewolf curse to get his assistance. Then they set out to Niemann's old place in Visaria (not to be confused with the aforementioned Vasaria) to begin the experimenting...More Monster Mash would eventually be provided by the next sequel, House of Dracula. In 1997, NBC created a mini-series remake of the movie with the backing of Universal. See House of Frankenstein (1997) for more information. | |

A Taste of the Lash | |
| House of Frankenstein / int_117b3429 | comment |
A Taste of the Lash: During Ilonka's introductory sequence, her abusive business partner throws her to the ground and beats her with a whip—until Daniel turns the tables on him. Later, Daniel takes his frustrations on the weakened Monster, who is currently Strapped to an Operating Table, with a belt. Which has been proven to be such a good idea in the past. | |

Mutual Kill: Ilonka finally works up the courage to shoot the Wolf Man with a silver bullet (powered by true love, no less), but the Wolf Man fatally mauls her in the process, and she dies embracing Larry's body. | |

Trailers Always Lie: We were promised that this Monster Mash would have Dracula, Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster all together. While they're all in the movie, Drac dies before Frank and Wolfy even show up, and the only scenes shared by the latter two are while Frank's in a coma and Wolfy is in his human form. | |

Shout-Out: An athletic hunchbacked man falling for a Romani woman? Why does that sound familiar? Not only that, but the Romani woman's corpse is entangled with the body of an unrequited lover (although in this case, it's unrequited on her end, rather than his). Even Daniel, jealous as he is, seems reluctant to separate them. | |
