Yup, thats the exact order i watch them all.When Demon first made the list i didn't have A&C meet Frank.But once i ordered it, i loved it the very first time i saw it.It was really cool to see lugosi Don the cape again.

It was indeed awesome to see him in it again. Lord knows Carradine didn't do it right.

No disrespect to John Carradine, but I've always thought he was a bit overrated...atleast as a horror actor.

Agreed, fridayfan. He definitely did not do well in House of Frankenstein. I think the best were Lugosi and Christopher Lee.

I'm the opposite. I liked House of Frank, but not House of Drac so much. The thing that made House of Frank for me was Karloff's character and performance.

My thoughts exactly Rich!
Man Ghost of Frank is so amamzing! I can't believe people lump it in there with the House of movies...
They were worse... the amazing amout of hunchbacks.. the non story for the Wolfman.... the non nothing for The Monster... only end of movie rampages...
Ghost of Frank has so much too offer and is such a fun movie!
Here's what Chaney himself wrote in 1971, as printed in THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN Filmscript Series from Magicimage:
'For GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, I had to be in makeup for the total shoot. In the beginning, they even had me covered in mud and plaster to simulate the dried sulphur when Bela Lugosi found me under the castle.
'If that wasn't rotten enough, I must have been allergic to the monster's headpiece or the glue, because I broke out in a rash under that gray-green greasepaint and I started to itch -- all down my back and around my forehead and scalp. The makeup men refused to take off the headpiece without Pierce's permission and no one else would help, so I tried to take it off myself and part of my forehead came off with it!'
-- Lon Chaney Jr., San Clemente, California, 1971

God rest your soul Mr. Chaney Jr.You went through a lot to give us (your fans for life) so much movies we enjoy dearly.
I love all of Lon Chaney jr's movies from spider baby to Son of Dracula.I'm so lucky to be alive to see all the magic he delivered on screen.
