Dr. Conroy?

This was the original concept for Dr. Conroy, Buzz's father, from Frankenstein, Jr.

829. How AIP Makes a Monster (movie, 1958)!

Here is a semi-sequel that actually has a thoughtful plot behind it, even if the malefactors don't see things properly.

This will get reviewed on the podcast sometime in the future.

                           Here's a fun movie that is a fun way to start the Hallowe'en season!  It is considered a classic now.

554. Frankenstein sort of meets a Space Monster in 1965!

               I still want to like this movie more than I do.  Alas, this didn't help.

Duel of the Space Monsters (1965)

 It is not much of a duel, actually.  Wish it had been better (as I have said several times here before, the last time in 2021).

            Sven is airing this again tonight, so here's an interesting little clip.  It is from the Italian trailer.

The Monster Squad (1976)

From Wiki, of course- The series stars Fred Grandy as Walt, a criminology student working as a night watchman at "Fred's Wax Museum". To pass the time, Walt built a prototype "Crime Computer" hidden in a large stone sarcophagus near an exhibit of legendary monsters. When Walt plugged in his computer, "oscillating vibrations" brought to life the wax statues of Dracula (Henry Polic II), the Wolfman (Buck Kartalian) – who here was named "Bruce W. Wolf" (with one episode revealing that the "W" stood for "Were") – and the Frankenstein Monster (Michael Lane), who was referred to as "Frank N. Stein" in the credits.  The monsters, wanting to make up for the misdeeds of their pasts, became superhero crimefighters who used their unique abilities to challenge and defeat various supervillains. In most episodes, Walt would send the monsters out to investigate crimes and fight the villains while monitoring the activities from the wax museum via the Crime Computer, presumably because his job required him to be at the wax museum at all times. However, Walt would sometimes join the climactic battle with his comrades in some episodes and come to the rescue when needed.  Now my turn:

Sven- Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia- Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein^[a] is a 1948 American horror comedy film directed by Charles Barton. The film features Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), who has partnered with Dr. Sandra Mornay (Lenore Aubert) in order to find a brain to reactivate Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange), and they find Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello), the ideal candidate. Larry Talbot makes an urgent phone call to a railway station in Florida, where Chick Young and Wilbur Grey work as baggage clerks. Talbot tries to warn Wilbur of a shipment due to arrive for "McDougal's House of Horrors". However, before he finishes, the moon rises and Talbot transforms into a werewolf, causing Wilbur to think the call is a prank. Meanwhile, McDougal demands the crates be personally delivered to his wax museum. back to me:

Bride of Frankenstein castle

While watching The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) again on Svengoolie last night, I was very much taken with the incredible miniatures they used.  The destruction of the castle at the end was astounding.  It is so refreshing to see actual physical miniatures these days.  It is well photographed and if you are not paying close attention and looking for the effect, you would think it was a real castle.  It also matches seamlessly with the inside of the castle as well, since there are miniatures of that when it is blown up.

Sven- Evil of Frankenstein (1964)

 

Frankenstein almost gets caught stealing another corpse, and flees back to his homeland.  His assistant Hans helps him find his former creation.  It is frozen in ice.  Frankenstein tries to revive it, but the brain is unresponsive.  He obtains the service of Zoltan, a hypnotist.  Ol' Zoltan makes the creature obey him, rather than Frankenstein.  Lots of mayhem ensues, with the inevitable conclusion.  That is, until the next movie.
