Review of House of Dracula (1945) by Ryan V — 11 May 2017
The Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) and Dracula (John Carradine) desperately seek cures for their respective disorders from a noble scientist (Onslow Stevens). Things predictably take a turn towards the worse as soon as the Count reverts to type and our protagonist stumbles across the remains of the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange).
House Of Dracula scores points for its then-novel approach to curing monsterism with science, but its main asset is Onslow Stevens' absorbing (and, I admit, campy) performance in the lead. This movie is probably skippable for anyone who isn't a horror movie junkie, but I was able to overlook its flaws and have fun with it.
