How The Frankenstein Monster Was Wasted In "House Of Dracula" (1945) (video)

In Universal's final serious Frankenstein film...

...Glenn Strange's Monster doesn't have much to do.

He gets discovered buried in mud in a cave under Dr. Edelmann's castle.

Then he ends up on a lab table...
...to be revived during the film's finale.

Whereupon he stomps around for a minute or so...
...before being replaced by stock footage of Lon Chaney's Monster from GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN.

Earlier, however, after being infected with Dracula's blood...
...Dr. Edelmann dreams of using the Monster to terrorize the village.

These scenes were actually shot, yet only a few seconds were used.

It's a dreadful waste, and a missed opportunity...
...for a more interesting and eventful storyline for the Monster.

Instead of a rerun of Lon Chaney stomping around in a fire.
