The Ghost of Frankenstein	comment	The Ghost of Frankenstein is the fourth movie in Universal Horror's Frankenstein series, directed by Erle C. Kenton and released in 1942.Following the events of Son of Frankenstein, we find that Ygor (Bela Lugosi) survived being shot and is still residing in the Castle Frankenstein. When the angry local villagers blow up the castle to get rid of the so-called "Frankenstein curse", the Monster (Lon Chaney Jr.) is accidentally freed from the sulfur pit where it fell in the last film.Ygor then decides to take the Monster to meet Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein (Cedric Hardwicke), previously-unmentioned son of the original Dr. Frankenstein, and persuade him to restore the Monster's strength.This was the last of the studio's original Frankenstein films, with subsequent movies featuring the Monster (starting with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man) being Monster Mashes.

The Ghost of Frankenstein / int_3ea7916d	comment	Immortality Immorality: Ygor wants to have his brain put into the Monster so he can live forever. He gets his wish and then everything goes sour. First he goes blind, and then he gets burned alive in the laboratory. And it only gets worse if you remember that the Monster never gets a new brain in the series but is reduced in intellect to a lumbering brute. Which means that Ygor was trapped inside an inarticulate monster's body forever.
