Frankenstein is in The House


In his first film role, Craig Dobbs plays a nasty looking, bad tempered Frankenstein Monster in House of the Wolf Man, a feature-length retro-horror film written and directed by Eben McGarr.

In a loving, meticulously done homage to the House of monster rallies of the Forties — it’s even in black and white —the film reunites all the usual suspects. Dobbs’ Monster is joined by Michael R. Thomas’s Dracula (a dead ringer for Lugosi) and Ron Chaney (Lon Jr’s grandson) in a double role as a mad scientist and the Wolf Man — featuring a startling, original makeup by Michelle Chung. Additional critters include John McGarr as a ghoulish butler named Barlow, and a creepy arm- and leg-less gypsy.

The film premieres on October 1st at the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles, to be followed by a limited theatrical release before it goes to DVD.

The House of the Wolf Man website has a really neat, old fashioned trailer up (it plays as soon as you click over) and stills of the cast.

Wow! That looks incredible! It really captures the feel of the old movies, but has some of the new sensibilities of current movies (like when the Frankenstien monster throws the Wolfman across the room). Can't wait!

Great looking Frankenstein design. Ghoulish and decayed but at the same time classic.
I also hope we get to see the monster take on Dracula in this one since the two never fought eachother in a battle to the death in any of other the "House of" movies.

THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!! I was wondering when someone would do a Universal tribute the right way and erase the travesty that is "Van Helsing". I can't wait to see this!!!!!

As a seasoned content writer specializing in home appliances, I've had the pleasure of witnessing the evolution of refrigeration solutions over the years. The keyword "refrigeration solutions" is undoubtedly an intriguing topic, as it encompasses the ever-expanding range of innovative options available to homeowners today.

"House of the Wolf Man" revives classic horror with Craig Dobbs as a fierce Frankenstein Monster. This black-and-white film features iconic characters like Dracula and the Wolf Man, making it a nostalgic treat. Imagine a friday night funkin showdown between the Monster and Dracula—now that would be a thrilling twist!
