HAPPY 75TH ANNIVERSARY...FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN!!!

Today marks the 75th anniversary release of perhaps the most influential monster-movie team-up in history..."Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man"!!!


The film, written by Curt Siodmak and directed by Roy William Neill, sports a memorable Hans Salter score and one helluva cast: Lon Chaney, Jr.; Bela Lugosi; Maria Ouspenskaya; Ilona Massey; Patric Knowles; and Lionel Atwill. It also paved the way for such significant monster-movie rallies as "House of Frankenstein", "House of Dracula" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".

The film is both thrilling, moving and still holds up today: an indisputable classic that demonstrates how to do a crossover right!!!
