info_outlineHouse of Frankenstein (dir. Erle C. Kenton) is a favorite Universal monster film at the House of Frank Dietz. This week on Monster Kid Radio, Frank and Derek discuss their impressions of this 1944 follow-up to . . . pretty much every Frankenstein, Wolf Man, and Dracula film up to that point. Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, John Carradine, Glenn Strange, and J. Carrol Naish give us a monster rally that Frank and Derek can go back to time and time again, warts and all. In addition to talking about what they love about this movie, other films also come up - Ghost of Frankenstein, the Universal Mummy films, etc. (So much so that the next episode of Monster Kid Radio have even more Frank and Derek discussion about the next Universal monster romp, House of Dracula (dir. Erle C. Kenton).)Be sure to visit our complete website at http://www.monsterkidradio.net, and don't forget our Wiki Campaign!
