From what I hear when the movie came to the people who released it in American theatres they had claimed to be working on a Frankenstein project but just ended up releasing this under that title and making a hilarious intro where they say that somehow the Frankenstein family became the Wolfstein family, and it was on a double bill with Terror of Frankenstein (THAT movie features the Monster and his creator in a very close adaptation of the book if you haven't seen it).
I wish I could figure out the relationship this film has with Independent International/Hemisphere Picttures because this trailer was obviously made by the same people who produced all the Al Adamson trailers. Yet this movie was made in Spain? Perhaps Sam Sherman was the North American distributor?
You have it right. They used it to fill out a double header, attaching the name 'Frankenstein' to the movie because the drive-ins wanted a new Frankenstein movie - even though there isn't a sniff of Frankenstein or his monster in this movie.
@MontagTheMagician Adamson's DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN was to be released by Sherman/I-I. The lab confiscated the negs during a legal despute, so Sherman imported this film (originally shot in 70mm 3D) to make up for it, hence the opening that "Frankenstein has now become Wolfstein!" The DvF deal was cleared by the time Sherman had imported and dubbed this film, so they went out on a double together.
A true classic that inspired me to make werewolf films!

It's a bit weird that a film called "Frankenstein" does not actually feature the said monster.

well, frankenstein was not the "monster", he was the man who 'created' 'it'. so, it is normal not to see that "monster" in that movie.

Watching the movie right now. Back when werewolf/vampire movies were a good thing.
