Studio Monsters

The studios made several movies about the Frankenstein monster during this time. The original one tells about mad Dr. Frankenstein. He creates a monster from body parts. Then he brings it to life. The next movie was The Bride of Frankenstein. The monster forces Dr. Frankenstein to build him a monster wife. In The Son of Frankenstein, Frankenstein’s son wakes up the monster. The terror begins all over again. The Ghost of Frankenstein includes a monster more terrible than ever.

In the 1940s, studios began teaming up movie monsters. Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is an example. It joins the story of Frankenstein’s monster with the story of the Wolf Man.

In The Wolf Man, Lawrence Talbot tries to save a woman from awerewolf. Talbot kills the werewolf. But he is bitten by it. At the next full moon, Talbot turns into the Wolf Man.
