Early warning- more Sven appearances are on the way! Next Friday night, for example, I’ll be playing “Sventa Claus” at the Comic Collector on Harlem in Riverside (right near Berwyn!)
More info later in the week…
Tonight, however, it’s a combination shot on Svengoolie- when, at 9 pm- we will bring you yet another “Franken-fall” classic- “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man!” Larry Talbot-dead? Well, not exactly- as a pair of grave robbers find out when they try to plunder the Talbot family tomb on the night of a full moon!
Soon, the Wolf Man is on the prowl again- and Larry is looking for some final peace and the end of his fuzzy double life! He re-locates the old gypsy woman Maleva from the original “ Wolf Man” movie, who thinks that perhaps a doctor she has heard of can help him. That doctor- is Dr. Frankenstein, and they head to his old haunts, only to find the doctor dead and his castle in ruins! Before long, the Wolf Man stumbles onto the undying Monster, and both end up on the loose- and face each other in a showdown! The monster grudge match of the century ends the team-up of terror in “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man!”
Of course, Larry Talbot/Wolfie is again played by Lon Chaney Jr.- but, this time, the Monster is none other than former “Dracula” and “Ygor”- Bela Lugosi! We’ll fill you in on why Lugosi finally agreed to play the Monster after rejecting the role for the original “Frankenstein” movie. The daughter of the
Late ‘maker of monsters” is played by a woman who gained her main fame starring with the Marx Brothers- and one of Lon’s previous co-stars from “Wolf Man” is back as well-we’ll give you the complete lowdown on the show!
Just so you know- we’re following the schedule Universal gave us, and this film is actually out of chronological sequence- “Ghost of Frankenstein”- which we’ll air here next week- should actually follow “Son of Frankenstein”- with “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man” following “Ghost.” It shouldn’t take anything away from your enjoyment of the film- but, when you see “Ghost of…” next week, I think you’ll see how it followed “Son of…” and the conclusion of “Ghost” will also explain a few things about “…Meets the Wolf Man.”
Wait- did that just muddy the water more?! We’ll clear it all up In the next couple shows…hopefully…see you tonight at 9 (1am on Me-TV!)
