Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man Page #3

Synopsis: Larry Talbot finds himself in an asylum, recovering from an operation performed by the kindly Dr. Mannering. Inspector Owen finds him there, too, wanting to question him about a recent spate of murders. Talbot escapes and finds Maleva, the old gypsy woman who knows his secret: when the moon is full, he changes to a werewolf. She travels with him to locate the one man who can help him to die - Dr. Frankenstein. The brilliant doctor proves to be dead himself, but they do find Frankenstein's daughter. Talbot begs her for her father's papers containing the secrets of life and death. She doesn't have them, so he goes to the ruins of the Frankenstein castle to find them himself. There he finds the Monster, whom he chips out of a block of ice. Dr. Mannering catches up with him only to become tempted to monomania while using Frankenstein's old equipment.

[All Murmuring]

Good evening.

Mr. Talbot.

I beg your pardon.

You must be mistaken. My name

is Taylor. I know you by Talbot.

Lawrence Talbot. You carry your

identification on your forehead.

## [Resumes]

Baroness Frankenstein.

Dr. Mannering.

How do you do.

Dr. Mannering?

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

How does it happen

that you're here. Doctor?

I've been looking

for you. Mr. Talbot.

And you were

very easy to find.

The newspapers told me

where to look for you.

Fontainbleu. Aachen.

Elrad.

and finally Vasaria.

I simply followed the trail

and found you.

Very clever of you.

wasn't it. Doctor?

Mr. Talbot is returning

to England with me.

I don't think that I care

to do that. Doctor.

Baroness. Will you give me

the honor of the next dance?

Of course.

At our Festival

of New Wine. Gentlemen.

it's a man's privilege

to ask any lady for a dance.

And vice-versa.

Excuse us.

Why have you

followed me?

Talbot.

you're a murderer.

Prove it. You're insane

at times. and you know it.

You're sane enough now. though.

To know what you're doing.

Why don't you let me

take care of you?

Do you think it would do any good

to put me in a lunatic asylum?

You know that's where you

belong. It's the only thing to do.

That wouldn't do any good. I'd

only escape again. sooner or later.

We might be able to cure

you. Might prevent you...

I only want to die.

That's why I'm here.

If I ever find peace.

I'll find it here.

You understand.

Why don't you help me?

Sit down.

How can I help you?

Dr. Frankenstein

left a diary.

In it are his records of the

secrets of life and death.

If I can find

Dr. Frankenstein's diary,

I can break this curse

and find peace in death.

[Dr. Mannering] That's morbid. Besides,

Dr. Frankenstein's experiments were

considered rather extraordinary.

Medical science never.

never recognized them.

That's just it. Why don't you

ask that girl. His daughter?

She can tell you about

things Dr. Frankenstein did...

that your medical science

has never heard of.

Talbot. I'm appealing

to your better nature...

while you can still

think normally.

The moon will be full again soon. You must

come back with me while there's still time.

Isn't there somebody

that could understand?

Gentlemen. Why those

serious faces?

[Both Screaming]

[Man] The monster! The

monster! The monster!

[Screaming]

[All Screaming]

[Screaming Continues]

[Growls]

No. No. It's me.

Come on with me.

[Screaming Continues]

[All Chattering]

[Chattering Ceases]

Well?

Not a sign of them. We shall

have to wait until morning.

It's clear to me

they're hiding in those ruins.

Much as I'd like to kill the

monster. I'd hate to crawl around...

through the dark catacombs of Frankenstein's

castle in the black of the night.

What about that Frankenstein

girl? She has lived up there.

[All Clamoring]

Let's bring her in here.

Stop. Stop.

There's no need for us all

to storm after her.

She'll come in

if I ask her.

Why should we treat her so

fancy? She's a Frankenstein.

[Clamoring]

Wait. Wait. Wait.

She's a young woman

who's done us no harm.

Now. Stay here.

Uh.

the men would like to

talk to you. Baroness.

The Gypsy woman is still

locked up in the prison.

Let's find out what she

knows about all of this.

[All Clamoring]

There's the daughter of

the accursed Frankenstein.

That name has brought nothing but

misery and misfortune to our village.

We want an end of it.

do you hear? Tonight.

Now listen to me.

The baroness and I want

nothing but to help you.

I tell you. He's lying.

I heard him this evening...

talking to that stranger

about insanity and murder.

I heard it with my own ears. Don't get

excited. You won't get anywhere by raving.

Dr. Mannering is right. To find and

destroy the monster. we must have a plan.

We know that it's hiding

in the Frankenstein ruins.

I can lead you there.

if you want me to.

I know those cellars well.

Don't trust her! Don't let them fool

you! They're all in this together!

[All Clamoring]

Here she is.

And the Gypsy too.

She's one of your gang of

murderers. You know these people?

Speak up. Old witch.

I never saw them before.

What's your name?

Maleva.

Maleva?

See? He knows her. Why don't

you arrest them. all of them?

Lock up these murderers. As long as

I'm mayor. justice shall be preserved.

I shall decide what is to

be done in this village.

Haven't we tried before to get

rid of the monster by force?

We burned down

the sanitarium.

and yet we didn't destroy

Frankenstein's fiendish creation.

We must be

more clever this time.

Let's use our brains

for once.

Whose brains? Yours? I'd

rather depend on my fists.

There's no use

in storming the ruins.

We must pretend to be

friends with the monster.

Yes. Why not elect it

mayor of Vasaria?

This monster was created

artificially.

It must be destroyed by the same

means. [Murmuring In Agreement]

I'll take you to the ruins now.

I'll go with you. of course.

I promise you. If you'll help me. I'll

rid Vasaria of this curse once and for all.

Talbot!

Talbot!
