Girls, Join Us Tomorrow Night, As Svengoolie Presents "House Of Frankenstein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                      Released in 1944, possessing an all-star horror cast, and followed the following year by "House Of Dracula," this was Universal coming to the end of its horror phase, a stature it would not gain till around 1954 with "The Creature From The Black Lagoon."



                                       The  first horror cycle ended, in 1948, with "Abbott and Costello Meet  Frankenstein," which was shown  earlier this month.  "House Of Frankenstein" I have not seen since I was a child, and features what I  believe is Glenn's Strange first shot at playing the Frankenstein monster.



                                          The all-star cast is priceless, but the standout is Elena Verdugo!  Remember her as Nurse Consuelo  on "Marcus Welby,  M.D.," back in the 1970's?  Well, here she is; who knew she had done horror movies,  much less anything else?



                                              John Carradine plays the most  erudite  Dracula,  ever.  He is still  trying to maintain his dignity as an  actor,  but he did have a family  to support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                                 I hope you will support us  all, including Baby Gojira,  Pippin, and Kerwyn, as we all  take this in,  tomorrow evening.



                                                  And hope Svengoolie  soon shows "Curucu, Beast Of The Amazon."

  2. Victoria,
    Had no idea she lived that long.
    She was very good in the movie.
    I must check and see how many more
    she made.
