A monster double feature!
The Wolf Man is back thanks to some grave robbers. I'm not sure why they chose this particular grave at this particular time, but whatever. He's been "dead" for four years, but the full moon wakes him up. Now whenever the moon is full, he kills. He's aware of what he's doing and wants to die.
He tracks down Maleva, the gypsy woman, to beg for help. She agrees, and they head off to seek out Dr. Frankenstein. They find out he's dead, and Wolfie begins to lose hope. At one point, he's spotted and chased. He ends up in the underground area of the Frankenstein ruins, where he finds the creature. Breaking up the little ice wall, Bela monster is free, and the two are fast friends.
A doctor has tracked Wolfie down following the trail of full moon murders. When Elsa Frankenstein pops up, I had high hopes. She did pretty good for a bit, but then she fainted. The woman in the other movie fainted so much, I think she's given herself brain damage. Anyway, a dam breaks, and water flows through the "epic" battle between the two monsters.
This one ended abruptly, and I hated it. Frankenstein ('s monster) is totally fine, but Wolfie should be as well. The problem is, I couldn't see another movie with him. Oh well, maybe he got his wish and died. Too bad the doctor didn't die as well. I don't know what's up with these men and their thirst for power, but why do they keep wanting to fry up the monster and set him loose in the village? So odd...
BUT! Lionel Atwil, my new hero of these movies, was also present in this movie. I was afraid he was going to be a "red shirt," but he lived! He wasn't a villain this time, though, so that might have had something to do with it. He's moved up in the world. He's the mayor now!
