Maleva Tends to the Monsters

Lon Chaney, Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Maria Ouspenskaya from "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man".

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man!

This display was on top of a box office at a theatre when "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" was initially released.  Oh how neat it would have been to be a Monster kid then!

The Best Monster Toy Ever?

I'd say so!  It's the official photo of the Aurora Frankenstein model.  The first in the popular line of Aurora Monster Models!

An Update

Hello Friends!  

I just wanted to give an update about the future of the Classic Movie Monsters Blog!  I know I have not been posting as much, but I plan on changing that in the near future.  I still have a ton of things to post and I also have some new ideas for different kinds of Monster content!  So keep an eye for things to come and I hope you all have a wonderfully horrific 2019!

The photo below is a painting done by the one and only Basil Gogos, featuring Boris Karloff and his Frankenstein Monster!

Portrait of a Monster

This is my favorite portrait of the Frankenstein Monster as portrayed by Boris Karloff.

A Rare Photograph

Just when I thought I have seen every photograph of Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein Monster, a new one (to me) popped up for auction through Profiles in History!

Blacklight Frankenstein

Is there anything better than combining Frankenstein with blacklight technology?  I think not!

Hope everyone is having a great Halloween season!

Read a Good Book

Here's the cover for the movie tie-in edition of Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein"!

Frankenstein: Now on 16mm!

Here's an ad for Frankenstein and other horror classics and science fiction thrillers on what I assume to be 16mm film!

All Kinds of Things Wrong with This...

This poster not only features Glenn Strange instead of Bela Lugosi as the Frankenstein Monster, but it shows Mr. Hyde as the Wolf Man!  What is going on here?

Watch the Movies Come Alive!

I remember seeing these posters for Universal Studios when I was a kid.  I was always so excited to see Frankenstein!

A Frankenstein Birthday Party

Basil Rathbone tries to hide the cake from Boris Karloff to surprise him for his birthday on the set of "Son of Frankenstein".

Leading to a Climactic Battle

Larry Talbot and the Monster are in the middle of their operation when things don't go to plan in "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man".

(Notice the obvious stunt doubles for Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi)

A Model Monster

This Wolf Bat Monster...  shows off his Aurora Mummy model kit with a winning plaque from the Monster Model contest put on by Universal, Aurora, and Famous Monsters.

The Giant Stands

Boris Karloff from "Bride of Frankenstein".

Surrounded by Frankensteins

Jack Pierce attends to Boris Karloff while the stand-in dummy looks on.  Or is it the other way around?

From "Bride of Frankenstein".

Back to Pierce and Karloff

I'm not positive which role Jack Pierce is making Karloff up for in this photo.  Anyone have any ideas?

Jack Working Away

Oh how I would love to wander inside his workshop!

Inside the Workshop

Boris Karloff and Jack Pierce discuss ideas to bring the Frankenstein Monster to life.
