- Well, it seemed pretty futuristic in 1958! At least there's a new-fangled atomic reactor in the Baron's basement. Boris Karloff returns to the property that made him famous, but this time it's 6' 8" wrestler Mike Lane playing the monster.

I saw this in the theater when I was about 11 years old. Afterwards, I thought that it wasn't very good. Now, I sort of hate it because they gave Boris such lousy films at the end of his career just to get his name on the marquee. Want to see a great film with Karloff at the end of his career - check out Targets.
I went to this movie when it first came out, I was about 10 or 11 years old at the time. I sat there thinking 1970!, 1970! .......that's so far off. I wonder if it will really be like this. After the movie was over I said to myself, that was the worst movie I had ever seen. I think of it every now and then and I ponder watching it again just to see how bad it really was, but I just can't bring myself to go through watching it again. When I say this movie was bad I mean BAD, Horrible, Garbage.
I'm with you, Joe. It's hard not to have a little affection for this movie, silly as it frequently is.
I'll be honest, my favorite part of this one is Charlotte Austin. What a dish!
What I didn't like.so much was it was...idk more cheap sci-fi than anything. The lab looks like an MRI room with better lighting.
But Charlotte Austin tho!
Some nice touches in it. The dissolve from the staring eyes of the victim to the same eyes in the monster's bandaged head was effective. As a symbolic womb the nuclear reactor worked well. The photo of the bare skull on the body with Karloff hovering over it scared the hell out of me when I saw it displayed in a frame outside the Fenway Theater in Boston.
I was disappointed as a youth when it came out. The ending was a bomber and I did not want it to look like the mad doctor. I wanted Karloff to play the monster He did in a way but it was not a monster I was expecting. Not one of my favorites.
I didn't care for this film as a kid because it wasn't in the same league as the Universal Frankenstein films but as an adult, I've grown to love this film. It's actually pretty interesting. Mike Lane did a great job playing both monsters-the scary one shown in opening scene making all these hunched, distorted movements while chasing the girl and then the other mummy type of monster that Karloff creates.
I remember being so bummed when 1970 came and went without a mad scientist re-animating a corpse. Heart transplants don't count.
saw this on tv years ago...stuck in after the frankenstein movie series....okay
I've heard about Frankenstein1970 but I haven't seen the movie yet. I would like to though.
Only if you're a Boris Karloff Completist.
This was basically Boris Karloff playing a Variant of Doctor Frankenstein. The Most Laughable Component of this Film is that the Monster looks more like the Mummy, and he winds up wearing Karloff's Face at the End of the Movie.
theending of the movie was very smart. Frankenstein isn't the name of the monster. oh yes it is !the man was alway the monster not the livingcorpse
true, my younger brother at 12 had the same dopey argument. it was scary when schulter found the lab and the baron euthanized him.
Joe has the same hairdo as Paulie Walnuts.
+scott carlson And he's from the same state. And he's of the same ethnic make-up. Could Joe be connected?
