Universal continues their “monster rallies” in House of Dracula, bringing together Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein Monster. The story picks up several years after the events of House of Frankenstein, where a now freed Dracula seeks the renowned Dr. Edelmann for help in curing his vampirism, and by happenstance Lawrence Talbot also comes looking for the doctor in hopes of a cure to his lycanthropy. The performances are all fairly good, and John Carradine gives a compelling depiction of Dracula. However, the film is rather uneven and has difficulty handling the various character stories. House of Dracula is fun and entertaining, but doesn’t quite meet its potential.
Fun monster movie but I prefer one iconic monster per movie. Too many takes away from all of them. Lon Chaney was fab in this movie. Fun story if not so unfocused one one monster. Still recommended.

Really just a strictly worse version of House of Frankenstein. Not bad, but certainly a weak link in the series.
