Watch House of Dracula For Free

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

House of Dracula..... Dracula and the Wolf Man, with a short appearance from the Frankenstein monster.Good gathering of talent. Lon Chaney Junior, reprising his role as the Wolf Man one last time; seemed to be the heart of the film.The story revolves around Dracula and the Wolf Man, on a journey to seek out a cure for their monstrous ailments.Things, quickly go wrong; as things frequently do in classic horror. Dracula, turns on the doctor; and must yet again be hunted down; before he can claim his prize.The Wolf Man, acting as a hero of sorts in the end. His lycanthropy finally cured, in a most unusual way. a new evil arises, and must be dealt with at the end; as well as the regeneration of the monster.As with all Universal's classic horror, House of Dracula is a good film. The story picks up where House of Frankenstein and Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man left off.The Frankenstein monster role, could have been a little more significant, but this movie is still up there among the best.

Warm up the slab for what may be the worst entry in the Universal Monsters cinematic universe: 1945's "House of Dracula." While the previous entries ("Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man," "House of Frankenstein") had been at least suitably mediocre, "House of Dracula" somehow manages to give both Dracula and the Wolf Man more screen time while giving them less to actually do. (In the entire 68-minute movie, there may be about three minutes of actual monster mayhem.) Dracula (John Carradine) turns into a bat a couple of times for no reason, and spends most of his time receiving blood transfusions. Wolf Man basically just mugs for the camera and begs to die. And fans may be particularly enraged by the short shrift given to Frankenstein's monster. Not only does he have the least screen time, but also he has the dubious honor of having the least coherent plot thread in a film that struggles to attain coherence in the first place. In fact, to say this movie has a plot is an act of generosity that would cause even the most prolific humanitarian to stop and think. It seems to center around a doctor who promises to cure Dracula, promises to cure the Wolf Man, and stumbles upon the body of the Frankenstein monster for... reasons? There's one nurse with whom Dracula is obsessed, with no payoff, and another nurse with a hump on her back, again, without payoff. John Carradine is perfectly suave as the titular bloodsucker. Lon Chaney Jr. is game enough as the werewolf, but neither of them has sufficient charm to beat out the fundamental weaknesses in the script. It's watchable only if you're a die-hard fan, but you'll still be disappointed.

You get your money's worth here - Dracula, the Wolf Man & Frankenstein's Monster in just over an hour. It doesn't hang about either, quite fast paced. Sure, Carradine as Dracula is no Lugosi but he still gives a good performance, though Chaney Jnr is the real star of this monster fest. Some decent effects too, for the time.

Not broadcast yet this Halloween on TCM and hard to find on disc, Universal now has "control" of this feature once again. It wandered into public domain for a short while. A better and more complex story than it's predecessor! We once again find ourselves in Transylvania, so naturally the gang's all here. Dr.Edlemann tries to cure Dracula (John Carradine) of vampirism, so the blood transfusion backs up, which starts to turn the doctor into a blood-sucker. This drives him mad and he finishes reviving The Frankenstein Monster. Lawrence Talbot-The Wolfman appears to be cured, but of course he isn't. There is a beautiful hunchbacked nurse (or is it just bad posture?) and a blonde nurse who gets to "date" both Dracula and The Wolfman. Lionel Atwill again plays the Inspector of the village, as in other "chapters". Intended to be a chapter once again, Frankenstein catches on fire, so you know he will be back, in 3 years (1948), for "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". Great and monstrous fun. Quite tame by today's standards, but much more intense than "House of Frankenstein". It should have been called "House of Dr. Edlemann", as most of the action takes place at his house! Note: Dracula also dies again, but manages to return in 1948 anyway.
