6/10

At least the weirdness gives it a surprising, fresh edge that might as well pass for good by this point in the cycle.

There's no mystery here, no suspense or atmosphere.

This is a campy late night classic. One to sit in front of the TV with some popcorn and let your mind drift back to more simple times.

Don't even know why this film was made besides the fact that Universal wanted money. A terrible Dracula, a prop monster, and overall forgettable characters save for Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot. Disappointing that none of the characters even meet in the actual film, just a rehash of House of Frankenstein.

Wow what a mess! Chaney and Carradine do their best to make this work, but to no avail. The director and set design are adequate. But the plot is incoherent. House of Frankenstein seems like a masterpiece by comparison.
