Halloween Double Feature: SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939) and THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942)

from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter

This week, we welcome Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi back to the Universal Monster party in our Frankenstein Sequel Series! First up, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN must live up to the lofty expectations of the previous BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and must do it without James Whale. Bela Lugosi shines as Ygor but does the rest of the movie live up? Next, we rank our favorite Halloween commercials during our Intermission Special! Finally, THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN brings us Lon Chaney’s first try in the neck bolts. Can he possibly live up to Karloff’s iconic performance? Listen along and find out!
