A wonderful Universal B-horror; the first of the all-star monster fests. Lots of fun with J. Carrol Naish almost stealing the show as the hunchback Daniel.

Reviews for House of Frankenstein
The horror story makes absolutely no sense, but it is so nutty that it makes for a diverting watch.
71 incomprehensible minutes of the very worst Universal had to offer.
