Ah Hell! The 1st Universal monster package deal! You get 'em all (well all the most loved anyway)! Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, the Wolfman, a hunchback lab tech, & a mad DR. Great idea & a good movie, but there was one fatal flaw. This movie would have been heaven if it had had the original monsters cast in place, as we would have it. Karloff as the monster, Lugosi as Dracula, & Chaney jr. did howl as the wolfman. Despite this problem, the movie still works wonders. Karloff is now the one creating monsters. John Carradine does his best but is no Dracula. Lon Chaney jr. is reliable as always as the howler. Strange thing is that the best character is the hunchback played by J. Carrol Naish. He isn't a monster but it becomes interesting to see his painful life caused by his deformity and how he struggles to be normal. All in all a good movie that good have been the greatest.
