Familiar Sets


For one...that winding old stone staircase from Frankenstein. Did anyone else notice others?

Just now I noticed, near the end of the movie, they used they same cob-webbed staircase as in the original. You know, the "children of the night" scene.

I told you a million times not to talk to me when I'm doing my lashes!

yeah, and I'm pretty sure they've used the same street set as in The Werewolf of London

I just finished watching this on Sven, and it holds up well (for me). It's good, misses greatness by a fair distance, but it held my attention. Excellent performances all-round. Production values were first rate for what couldn't have been regarded as much more than a routine minor A level horror made to cash in on the popularity of the 1931 Dracula. Interesting subtext with Countess Zaleska and the young woman she's, well, basically seducing. The sets were mostly the old familiar ones from earlier Universal horrors. It moved at a good pace for such an old movie.

It's good to spot the familiar Universal sets from other horrors they made. I'm going to keep an eye for more.

In The Mummys Curse, at the end, they are leaving a destructed building. As they walk down the stairs, its obvious its the same set as the house in Psycho
