House of Frankenstein Page #3

that wall and...

washed everything

into the cave beyond.

We'd better look for

the records in there.

A glacial ice cavern.

The Wolf Man.

Master.

Over there!

The undying monster.

The triumphant climax

of Frankenstein's genius...

And the Wolf Man.

They may know where the

records are. Friend Daniel.

We'll set them free

and they will help us.

Master! Master!

Who are you?

Why have you freed me from the ice

that imprisoned the beast within me?

Why? Perhaps to help you.

Mr. Talbot.

No earthly power can help those that are

arked by the sign of the pentagram.

You came here to ask

Frankenstein for help. Didn't you?

Yes. But I was too late.

He was dead.

I wanted to die too.

Nevertheless. When Dr. Mannering

trailed you here from England.

You asked him for help.

I did. But he became more interested

in the monster than he was in me.

When the villagers learned that

he had brought the monster back to life,

they blew up the dam.

These frozen waters...

have held you here

all these years.

And now you've brought me

back to a life of misery.

With each full moon.

I turn into a werewolf.

I kill.

I want to die. Only death

can bring me release.

You don't have to die.

My boy. You're wrong.

I can help you.

How? How can

you help me?

I too am a doctor.

A scientist...

like Frankenstein.

Do you know where

he kept his records?

I think so.

Show me those records and I'll build

a new brain for you.

I'll lift this curse

from you forever.

He wanted life

and strength.

I wanted only death.

Here we are.

The answer to both

your problems lies here.

But in my laboratory

in Visaria.

I have the equipment

to restore his strength.

Then I must wait until we reach Visaria.

You must be patient.

The horses are

harnessed. Master.

- Can you drive?

- Why. Yes.

Then take the road

to Visaria.

Master. Is he going

to drive all the time?

Yes.

I need you here.

We must apply

hot compresses.

The ice has seriously

damaged his tissues.

What's the matter.

Daniel. You got bugs?

You're not Daniel.

No. Daniel's back

with the doctor.

Who are you?

Just the driver.

- Are you going to Visaria with us?

- Yes.

I promised Daniel I'd keep

him company while he drove.

But I'll talk to you

if you want me to.

My name's Ilonka.

What's yours?

Lawrence.

Lawrence?

Do they call you

Larry?

They used to.

Larry! Larry!

I have something for you.

Look.

Pretty.

What's the matter

with you?

We've been together three days.

And you haven't smiled once.

I think I'd like you

better if you smiled.

Now don't start

barking at me.

There's a nice

big smile for you.

Now give me one.

You see how

easy it is.

Then why are you

always so sad?

I wish you'd tell me.

Why?

Because I like you.

Tell me.

Maybe I can help.

No one could help me.

Daniel.

Hurry up with

that water.

You going to

stand there all day?

Get started.

We've lost too

much time already.

Master. Why can't I

drive part of the time?

Talbot bothers me with

his everlasting impatience.

We must get the

monster to Visaria...

before further changes make

restoration more difficult.

The desiccation of the tissues

has gone further than I thought.

It's not as

bad as I feared.

Our equipment

is still usable.

We must go to work and get it in shape

as quickly as possible.

Turn on the steam.

Steam will soften

the tissues so that...

the high-frequency current

will go through them.

- How long will it take?

- A day. Perhaps longer.

Why must you

do that now?

You have everything

you need here.

Operate on me.

I've yet to find a way of combining

Frankenstein's technique with my own.

The moon will be full tonight.

You know what that means.

I can't stand to go through that torture

again. I tell you. I can't!

An operation now

would be a failure.

It would leave you exactly

as you are. You must wait.

Wait!

All right. Daniel.

Master. Talbot is big and strong.

Will you give me...

Forget Talbot.

We have work to do.

But. Master. You promised...

All in due time. Daniel.

Tonight we call

on my old friends.

Ullman and Strauss.

Herr Strauss. Yes.

What do you want?

Remember me?

I'm Dr. Niemann.

- Dr. Niemann? - Yes. Frederick.

- Come with me.

Aaah!

Aaah!

Pardon me.

Herr Ullman.

Do you know

Herr Strauss?

The garrulous gentleman

who testified...

that he saw me take

a body from its grave.

We don't forget.

Herr Strauss. Do we?

Oh. I'm sorry.

Is that more

comfortable?

Niemann. I've saved

15.000 marks...

Since you testified for the state to save

your miserable hide?

Let me go. Niemann. Let me

go and the money is yours.

Every bit of it.

15.000 marks.

A thousand for

every year...

that I spent in

the stinking. Slimy dungeon.

You bargain poorly.

Herr Ullman.

Don't kill me.

Don't kill me.

Kill my trusted

old assistant?

Why. No.

I'm going to repay you

for betraying me.

I'm going to give that

brain of yours a new home...

in the skull of the

Frankenstein monster.

As for you. Strauss.

I'm going to give you

the brain of the Wolf Man...

so that all your waking hours will be

spent in untold agony.

Awaiting the

full of the moon,

which will change you

into a werewolf.

The plasma must flow

at exactly that rate.

No more. No less.

If there's any change,

call me.

- Master.

- Yes?

Now that I've helped you

with Strauss and Ullman.

- Will you give Talbot's body to me?

- What?

He's big.

He's strong.

Talbot's body is the perfect home

for the monster's brain.

Which I will add to and subtract

from in my experiments.

- Master. You made me a promise.

- No!

You think I'd wreck

the work of a lifetime...

because you're in love

with a... a gypsy girl?

I've killed

four men for you.

Do as I say or

I'll never help you.

Larry!

Larry!

Daniel. You frightened me.

Have you seen Larry?

What's the matter?

Don't you like Larry?

You used to smile at me sometimes.

Before he joined us.

Why. Daniel.

I believe you're jealous.

You love him.

Don't you?

He's in some kind

of trouble. I think.

I want to help him.

You do love him.

But he

doesn't know it.

It wouldn't make any difference

to him if he did.

Why not? Why wouldn't it

make any difference to him?

Do you see that?

It's a star.

A five-pointed star.

The pentagram.

The pentagram!

The sign

of the beast.

"Even a man who's

pure in heart...

and says his

prayers by night..."

"will become

a werewolf...

"when the

wolfbane blooms...

and the moon is

full and bright."

He's a werewolf.

Oh. No!

Not him.

Not Larry!

You're lying!

You're lying to me! No.

No. I'm trying to protect you.

Stay away from him.

When the moon is

full again. He'll turn.

And he'll kill.

He'll kill.

I don't believe you.

You're making it all up

because you're jealous.

I hate you.

You're mean

and you're ugly!

I hate you!

I hate you!

I hate you!

She hates me because

I'm an ugly hunchback.

If it wasn't for you.

I'd have Talbot's body.

Yes. Mrs. Strauss.

Yes. Yes. Mrs. Strauss.
