For our October Cinema Classics screening, we’re proud to present a monstrous double-feature of two classic Universal Horror films on 35mm!
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943) Lon Chaney Jr. plays Larry Talbot, a man cursed not only to transform by night into a werewolf, but with immortality which denies him the only means to escape the curse. While searching for a cure to his inability to die, Talbot locates Dr. Victor Frankenstein and unwittingly resurrects his monstrous experiment. Frankenstein’s monster is played by Bela Lugosi, best known for his haunting performance as Dracula in 1933.
Followed by:
HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1944) Boris Karloff, who starred in the first screen incarnation of Frankenstein in 1931, stars here as Doctor Gustav Nieman, a deranged scientist who, after escaping from prison, recruits the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), Dracula (John Carradine), and Frankenstein’s monster (Glenn Strange), to help him exact revenge on an official who imprisoned him for his unnatural experiments.
