AKA The Wolf Man's Cure."The evil he creates he can also destroy."
Dracula (John Carradine) arrives at Dr Edlemann's (Onslow Stevens) house seeking a cure for vampirism, but on meeting the Dr's beautiful assistant Miliza (Martha O'Driscoll) he pursues her and seems to decide against the treatment; instead infecting the dr with his own blood. But Miliza only has eyes for another patient Lawrence Talbert (Lon Chaney Jr.) who is a werewolf. Meanwhile as Hyde the Dr's only concern is to bring Frankenstein's monster back to life. Cue the vengeful torch bearing townsfolk!
Due to the amount of monsters that have to be crammed into the plot, this is an almost comically quickfire film, with barely time to breathe between the various events. A film that you cannot get bored watching as you have very little time to. Entertaining if convoluted. It is also interesting in its sympathetic portrayal of all concerned. Even the hunchback character is now a beautiful nurse, who serves only to help others.
