Son of Frankenstein (1939)

Wolf von Frankenstein returns from the United States to his ancestral manor with his wife, Elsa, and son, Peter. The villagers remain hostile, haunted by the infamous legacy of his father's experiments and the monster he created. The local Burgomaster presents Wolf with a sealed briefcase left by his father, containing scientific notes. At the manor, Wolf encounters Igor, his father's cunning assistant, who reveals that the monster still exists, albeit in a coma-like state. Wolf's early experiments to revive the creature seem to fail, but when Peter claims to have seen a giant in the woods, it suggests his efforts succeeded. As mysterious deaths occur in the village, suspicion falls squarely on the monster. **Cast:** - Basil Rathbone as Baron Wolf von Frankenstein - Boris Karloff as The Monster - Béla Lugosi as Ygor - Lionel Atwill as Inspector Krogh - Josephine Hutchinson as Elsa von Frankenstein - Donnie Dunagan as Peter von Frankenstein - Emma Dunn as Amelia - Edgar Norton as Thomas Benson - Perry Ivins as Fritz - Lawrence Grant as Burgomaster - Lionel Belmore as Emil Lang - Michael Mark as Ewald Neumüller - Caroline Frances Cooke as Mrs. Neumüller - Gustav von Seyffertitz as Burgher - Lorimer Johnston as Burgher **Runtime:** 99 minutes.
