House of Frankenstein

House of Frankenstein (1944) is Universal Pictures' classic horror crossover — watch it online on iFILM. Director Erle C. Kenton put Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., and John Carradine on screen together and let three of the studio's greatest monsters share a single film.

Karloff's deranged Dr. Gustav Niemann breaks out of prison, seizes a traveling House of Horrors, and revives Count Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Frankenstein monster in quick succession — each for his own purposes, each with doomed results. The 71-minute runtime moves fast.

As a late entry in Universal's golden age of horror, the film has the feeling of a curtain call. It never assembled this many icons again. Stream House of Frankenstein online on iFILM.
