				lycanthropic curse leads him to the ruins of Frankenstein's 
				castle. There, he awakens the dormant Frankenstein Monster, 
				hoping the mad scientist's secrets hold the key to his freedom. Dad's Preview:  
				I discovered Universal horror films at age ten. I gasped at the 
				undead Frankenstein monster! I hid my eyes from the snarling 
				Wolf Man! I could not wait to see this beastly battle! And I was 
				not disappointed! The tragic Larry Talbot, revived by grave 
				robbers, seeks help by venturing to Castle Frankenstein. When he 
				finds that the doctor died long ago, he explores the castle and 
				stumbles upon the monster, frozen in ice, but still alive and almost thawed! 
				Lon Chaney is again the wolf man, and Lugosi portrays the monster.
