With Boris Karloff’s departure from the franchise, it’s left to Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr. to carry on in The Ghost of Frankenstein. In this chapter the Monster is freed from his sulfur tomb when villagers blowup Castle Frankenstein, allowing Ygor to rescue him and sneak off in search of Dr. Frankenstein’s second son, Ludwig Frankenstein. Unfortunately, Lon Chaney Jr.’s depiction of the Monster is rather bland and doesn’t convey the emotional expressiveness that Karloff gave. Also, the story is formulaic for the most part; though there are some interesting aspects to it. The Ghost of Frankenstein is an underwhelming sequel that stretches for material, but it still delivers an entertaining adventure.
