I often wonder why couldn't they get Karloff to play the Monster one last time

i love this! why don't they show it on Halloween anymore?

Easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!

I remember once a few years ago, watching this movie with my pet cockatiel Cookie, who knew how to say a few phrases, and could even imitate a laugh. As I watched the movie, I'd obviously laugh a lot, "Ha ha ha!" Cookie eventually picked up on it and started joining in with his own laugh, "Ah ah ah ah!" It's so funnyy, it was like he was enjoying the movie as much as I was!

They ought to do very minor digital tweaks to these golden oldies, like removing the mirror reflection. And maybe a bat string or two. Miss Kitty's (from Gunsmoke) bartender does a pretty good Frankie, still, he's no Boris!

I like how Original Series Star Trek Discs allow you to watch the CGI version OR the original graphics, there could be two versions of this, remap Boris Karloff's version over the Frankenstein monster!

This movie was great, and it really brought to a close Universal's classic horror run, as the few movies that came after this really weren't that good. As many people have commented here, it was brilliant having the monsters play it straight. Universal's notable contribution to the sci-fi 50s would be the Creature from the Black Lagoon--I just picked up the Legacy Collection of that.

why did the director make Bela stand in front of a mirror...fire him!!Oops too late...
