Review:
This was an interesting hybrid of monster movies. Again it seems Frankenstein barely made an appearance but at least this one is so much better than "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman". The plot is that a Doctor escapes a madhouse and with his hunchback assistant he tries to revive the three monsters in order to allow them to get revenge on their many enemies. It does blend together the mixture of monsters and it seems to make sense. It's easy enough to watch as well even if they threw in a dreaded singing number, but at least it was somewhat purposeful as it introduced us to the singing gypsy character that the monsters end up fighting for. It's a watchable entry into the series and it looks like everyone had fun making it, and heck I had fun watching it too.
