Feb 1 11 5:42 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Maleva does not see Talbot transform in FMTWM -- he leaps off the wagon before it begins to show, doesn't he? However, in the original WOLF MAN, Maleva sees the Wolf Man transform from Wolf back into Larry again. "Guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor. He's deader'n a mackerel."

Feb 1 11 11:17 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Wolf Man: 1. Alone in his house. 2. Maleva sees him transform back while he's in the trap. 3. Sir John & Maleva see him transform back at the finale. Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man: 1. Doomed grave robber sees him transform. 2. Alone in his hospital bed. 3. After leaving Maleva in the cart, he transforms in the woods. 4. Dr. Mannering, Elsa and the Frankenstein Monster see him transform while he's strapped down during the final experiment. House of Frankenstein; 1. Daniel sees him transform back in the ice cave. 2. He transforms in the Niemann house just outside of Ilonka's view. 3. Transforms back just before Daniel arrives. House of Dracula: (as stated) Transforms in front of Miliza, Edelmann and Holtz. The curse of too many viewings. As Mr. Memory sez: "Am I right, sir?"

Yes , but then he runs down the hill and starts to transform , while Maleva looks on . Then , his transformation finished , he starts to run away and Maleva says ( something like ) " No wait , come back ! " Clearly , she witnessed the entire change.

Feb 2 11 5:09 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	You're right. And so is Cueva Muerte. And I know every frame of these films better than the back of my own hand! I guess it was too early in the AM when I posted! "Guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor. He's deader'n a mackerel."

Mar 6 12 9:22 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	it is well known that stock footage from Ghost of Frankenstein was used for the ending of House of Dracula regarding the Monster's fate. But I'm wondering if there is written information or documentation as to why this was done. It's certainly not the norm. And I'm wondering if someone could check the shooting script and see what is there compared to what we see on film ( the recycled footage).

The re-use of masses of stock footage from older Universal films was very much an ingrained part of the system at Universal in the 1930's and 40's (and even well into the 1970's, when they cannibalised scenes from things like Duel, and built whole new episodes of TV shows - like The Incredible Hulk - around the borrowed footage), and WAS the norm at the studio. Masses of Universal westerns of the 1930's and 40's, not to mention their serials, use vast amounts of key action footage from earlier Uni films; it wasn't uncommon to see a late 30's/early 40's Universal western incorporating grainy, jittery, speeded-up, silent film Indian attack footage. It all saved a few pennies (or more) here and there, and helped the studio stay afloat. So deliberately writing a pulp Frankenstein sequel to include a fiery finish, which could be largely recreated by using material borrowed from a previous Frankie outing, would be standard operating procedure at Universal.

However, House of Frankenstein, barely a year earlier, didn't resort to re-using footage. They could have rather easily re-used the exact same conclusion had they wanted to. It certainly seems that someone got more stingy in the interval. (H of F had an original music score, whereas H of D's is retread.)

The film also uses a clip from BRIDE and the cat reacting to Edelmann's change comes from WEREWOLF OF LONDON. It would be fun to see if the shooting script notes "insert stock footage here."
