Glenn was a great BIIIG Frankie..bless him...I think thats one of the strengths of this movie..wen hes onscreen he is absolutely mesmerizing. Previous House of movies sold us short...he must have looked awesome in the flesh in the role..kids love this movie squeals of delight even today....
Boris Karloff was a very good actor and created the Frankenstein Monster, and he always will be the original. However I think that Glenn Strange's physical size and sleepy eyes made the best looking version. By advanced Karloff was 1931 to 1939 and Strange 1944 to 1948. I think the makeup had advanced some. Either way love all the classic monster movies.
Too bad Fred Gwynne was only 22 years old when this movie was released in 1948. He'd be perfect as the Frankenstein monster; perfect as Herman Munster.
I like the end part of this movie where Abbot and Costello are in a small boat, they hear the voice of my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price, as the Invisible Man, they jump out of the boat and swim for their lives just as fast as they can go.That is the funniest part of the movie.
I read in Famous Monsters that Pierce made the monster makeup green deliberately, so on black and white film the creature would look dead and bloodless. So the goal was way pale, knowing how different colors would appear on B&W film. Those today that picture or paint the monster green are really mistaken about how he's supposed to look.
might online petitions sway Universal to consider colorization of (at least part of) their Frankenstein franchise? (perhaps in conjunction with Legend who did marvelous work with The 3 Stooges) - There have been a lot of releases of the originals in the past couple of decades and think there are enough fans plus new audience who would make such a thing profitable.
Classically, you'd think so: magician's colors and all that-- and the James Bama paintings on the Aurora model kit boxes. But actually, no, the A/C/F cape was pearl colored. Check it out on old Criswell in Ed Wood's ORGY OF THE DEAD in all its color glory.
@@debbutcher9087 this was probably the first comedy horror, the cult classic Blood sucking freaks has to be number 2. think you'd laugh yourself to death on mescaline. my eyes were glued to the screen in Manhatten cutting school from jersey bach in the day.
Universal would make a mint if they colorized this classic . I'd sure purchase it!
Just terrific looks great in color love this

Glenn Strange Was The Best Looking Frankenstein Monster, The Makeup Was More Advanced . He Was Taller Too, Love To See It In Color.
How do you mean more advanced? Karloff had a better face for the monster and I think the make up worked better with him.

i'm sorry, but I thought Glenn strange made a better Frankenstein than boris Karloff did.
I agree Glenn Strange was just a bulkier guy than Karloff which made him tower over everyone. Karloff was more human and Strange more monster.

Just terrific. I'd love to see the whole movie like this.

What a fun video to be a part of! Thanks!
I see you fixed Dracula’s reflection in the mirror! That’s awesome
If the all movies were in black and white, why did I also think Talbot's shirt was green? Maybe it was the model???
Universal please colorized all you classic monster movies. I sure will purchase as well as many other fans.
Was Lugosi's makeup really gray like that? Has anyone ever asked Bela Jr. about this? What about in the 1931 film, was he flesh colored or gray?
William Pratt I was going to say that, too. Pale white looks OK, but they really tinted him blue here.
LaMona1965 I have heard that before, too, because I guess it reads dead white on black & white film

Great - can we see the whole movie in colour?
Where can we get the colorized version. WHAT A TREAT!!!

Fabulous
Where did this come from? I've never seen it in color before. I think it looks great.
Did you colorize any other Abbot & Costello movies, or the 3 Stooges?
R..I.P. Ted!
Nicely done!
Nice, Drac and Frank are too blue, though.
Greenish fleshtones might be a better way to go.
Usually I used the Munsters colors as a guide.
Where’d you get the soundtrack?
On RUclips. It was recorded live about 7 years ago. Brilliant orchestration and conducting.
Shouldn't the inside of Dracula's cape be red, not yellow or gold?

I agree with everyone else. Dracula's make up is way too over the edge white.
give the man his props ,he was a bad heroin and morphine abuser ,i'm surprised he was't green . watch Ed Wood
@@adamcornell6638 , hahaha! Right.

Deb Butcher but the color of the dead or not white????
@@INTJ10551 , The dead color is more of a grayish green. Not pure white like a mime or clown.
