	The Ghost of Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ghost of Frankenstein (often referred to without the article "The" in the title), was an American horror film released in 1942.
		Lon Chaney, Jr., in The Ghost of Frankenstein
		Ghost of Frankenstein also marked the changeover of the Frankenstein (and Universal Monsters) series from "A-movie" to "B-movie" status, with noticably reduced budgets and the reuse of actors from previous films.

	Son of Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Son of Frankenstein is the third film in Universal Studios' Frankenstein series and the last to feature Boris Karloff as the monster.
		The story begins with Wolf Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone), the son of the monster's creator, relocating his wife and young son to the Frankenstein estate in the village that bears the family name.
		While Josephine Hutchinson is stuck with a typical movie-wife role, she properly communicates the discomfort and fears of an unhappily displaced young wife.

	Son of Frankenstein / The Ghost of Frankenstein DVD - Michael Weise Productions
		Actually, this 1942 film is more "The Son of Frankenstein II" because the Dr. Frankenstein of this one is Ludwig von Frankenstein (Cedric Hardwicke of the 1939 version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"), another son of the original Dr. Frankenstein.
		By when we get to "The Son of Frankenstein" and "The Ghost of Frankenstein" the driving force of the stories is no longer the monster or his creator, but Bela Lugosi's Ygor.
		Ghost of Frankenstein stars Lon Chaney, Jr, as the Monster, and he isn't a patch on Karloff, but it's an entertaining installment in the series nevertheless.

	Scrivener, "Frankenstein's Ghost Story" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Frankenstein's exorcism of the bad intellectual operates primarily by distinguishing between the doctrine of utility, whose authority is never questioned, and the very fallible practitioners of the ideal, the utilitarian characters.
		Frankenstein's utilitarian action, however, is made to seem quite extraordinary because he suffers so much for it and an easier option was available to him.
		Lee Sterrenburg demonstrates, in 1832, 1867, and the Fenian riot period, Frankenstein was depicted in political cartoons as an idealistic, self-deluded reformer whose liberal notions gave birth to a violently destructive monster representing the revolutionary crowd.

	DVD Review - The Son of Frankenstein/Ghost of Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The first follow-up film was 1935’s "The Bride of Frankenstein," a shockingly original story full of overt and covert sexual imagery that return director James Whale was able to slip right under the noses of the Hollywood censors.
		The new Dr. Frankenstein looks upon this situation as an opportunity to continue his father’s work while at the same time striving to turn the monster into an agent of good rather than evil.
		Both "Son of Frankenstein" and "The Ghost of Frankenstein" are enjoyable films although I personally prefer Boris Karloff as the monster.

	DVD Verdict Review - Son of Frankenstein/Ghost of Frankenstein
		Frankenstein is fascinated by the creature, convinced that he can restore his health, tame his ravenous side, and clear his father's name.
		Ghost of Frankenstein reveals that apparently Ygor (Lugosi) did not die in Son of Frankenstein but lived, surviving in the ruins of the castle.
		Both Ghost of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein are presented in their original aspect ratios of 1.33:1 standard.

	The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Even though Wolf Frankenstein, son of the original "mad doctor" Heinrich/Henry, has been exiled, and the Monster and Ygor are supposedly dead, the villagers are claiming to have seen Ygor, and they believe that the presence of the Frankensteins has left a curse on their town.
		As the first three Frankenstein films are all 10s in my view, The Ghost of Frankenstein is a slight letdown.
		Kenton also references the other Frankenstein films without mimicking them--such as the scene where the Monster appears outside of the heroine's window, or the flashback sequence, which at first might feel like padding, but turns out to be necessary on examination.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Son of Frankenstein / The Ghost of Frankenstein
		Seeking to reboot its successful line of gothic horror films, in 1939 Universal released The Son of Frankenstein, the first sequel to the smash hits from earlier in the decade, Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein.
		Although it was the first Frankenstein film not directed by the masterful James Whale, The Son of Frankenstein is still generally regarded as the last great entry of the series.
		Basil Rathbone is Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, the heretofore unmentioned son of the monster-maker from the first two movies.

	Son of Frankenstein/Ghost of Frankenstein
		Peter Lorre was first conceived to star as the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, but in one of those lucky breaks in the grand scheme of things, thankfully refused the role and so the part was tastefully taken over by Basil Rathbone.
		SON OF FRANKENSTEIN was the first of the "new" horror releases to arrive after the 30s ban on fright films was lifted.
		GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN stands today as one of the most overlooked and highly enjoyable of all Universal's 40s monster movies.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Ghost Of Frankenstein [1942]: Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Boris Karloff was wrong when he objected to having the monster speak in "Bride of Frankenstein." The progression of the character from the inarticulate brute of first "Frankenstein" movie was a smart move and the second film in the Universal series is the best of the bunch.
		I think the turn toward the big, dumb Frankenstein monster stereotype took place in Son of Frankenstein, so by this point (1942), all hope was lost for ever bringing to life the creature envisioned by Mary Shelley (I say creature because Dr. Frankenstein, not the creature, was the true monster).
		You won't see the type of pathos and innocence that Karloff brought to the role in the first two films, yet Chaney subtly shows a human side to the creature on a couple of occasions (and, to be frank, the script didn't allow him much room to maneuver in terms of developing his character).

	The Ghost of Frankenstein (or "Three Brains and a Monster")
		THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN continues the story of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (see my article Boris Karloff and the Frankenstein Trilogy Part 2), and at the same time denies what we know to be true from that film.
		At the end of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, the evil and decrepit hunchback Ygor was shot to death by Wolf Frankenstein, who then drop-kicked his father’s creation into a handy pit of boiling sulphur.
		THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN never reaches the heights of its three predecessors, but it moves at such a breathless pace that it is impossible to resist.

	Classic-Horror Review of Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
		It's hard to imagine why he'd be lacking for material, though, since Ghost is essentially a compressed remix of Son of Frankenstein.
		Sadly, though, Ghost of Frankenstein is merely a drab programmer that is, for the most part, an amalgamation of the previous entries' concepts, though it carries none of the the intelligence of those films.
		For Frankenstein fans, this is the perfect amount of time to waste on a movie like this.

		As Frankenstein prepares to transplant the brain of a colleague killed by the monster, Ygor persuades Frankenstein's assistant into transplanting his brain instead so that he might escape his crippled body.
		The second entry, The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), is commonly considered the best of all Universal's Frankenstein films due to James Whale's eccentrically droll approach.
		The film's one novel spin is having this Dr Frankenstein, in a blinding flash of ingenuity one wonders why it didn't strike his other family members, decide to replace the monster's brain with a normal one.

	Ghost of frankenstein
		Just like Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein were companion pieces, this one is a companion piece to Son of Frankenstein (just not quite as close a one).
		There is a literal appearance of the Ghost of Frankenstein (now played by an entirely different-looking actor, but ah well), so the title isn't a complete lie, but it felt a bit out of place with the rest of the film.

		Universal's "Frankenstein" series descended from the "A" to the "B" category with The Ghost of Frankenstein, though production values were still well above average and the cast is first-rate.
		Frankenstein (1939) left off, with both the Monster (Lon Chaney Jr.) and his crazed companion Igor the shepherd (Bela Lugosi) being chased out of the village of Frankenstein by the irate citizens (actually both Monster and Igor had been killed at the end of Son of Frankenstein, but that's neither here nor there).
		In the end, however, Dr. Frankenstein goes with Igor's graymatter-and the result is disaster for practically everyone in the cast.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man / House of Frankenstein
		Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man turned out to be one of the most entertaining films in the entire Universal Classic Monster canon.
		With the assistance of Ludwig Frankenstein's daughter Elsa (Ilona Massey), Dr. Frank Mannering (Patric Knowles), and the Frankenstein notes, Talbot hopes that his life energy can be drained away forever, offering "hope for me to die." Plus, with Talbot jumper-cabled to the Monster, the procedure could also benefit the creature's dangerously destabilized brain.
		House of Frankenstein was number six in Universal's Frankenstein series, and the third each for Dracula and the Wolf Man. It's less a story than a patchwork of incidents that don't amount to much.
