I know they did it for audience identification, but Frankenstein's Monster as portrayed in the Universal horror films would not have shown up in a Victorian Wax Museum. Yes, I know that's nit-picky, but I'm about to be even moreso. There also would not be a Dracula wxx figure there either because Robert Louis Stevenson wrote his story about elven years before Bram Stoker wrote his.
shareYep, you're nit-picky
shareAs I was reading this I realized I sound like a troll I should add this, :oD Now you know I'm kidding with you
shareMy question is, who played the monster in the wax museum ? He walked, so, there must have been an actor, or someone, under the makeup and costume.
shareOkay, I found it, maybe, in the book, The Frankenstein archive: essays on the monster, the myth, the movies, and more by Donald F Glut. Pertinent pages 133 - 134. http://tinyurl.com/lxjjphr The author of the essay states that the actor was probably Charles 'Chuck' Hamilton. Included is a publicity still from the movie, showing Boris Karloff shaking hands with the monster. The publicity still indicates that the monster was Glenn Strange, which Strange denied. All is explained in greater detail at the link.
I didn't think you sounded like a troll at all Leroy. At least you didn't call the OP an idiot like so many true trolls do.
The OP must not be familiar with Abbott and Costello's style of humor. As I've already mentioned. Every single one of their films are loaded with anachronisms. In fact I just sent in an update on a reported anachronistic good for "Lost In Alaska".
OK... this is very odd. This is a copy/past of the goof/correction:
Old -
Goof: In the scene where Bud and Lou are ice fishing, an off-camera seal barks and Costello ad libs: "Somebody got a car up here, driving?" But the film is set in the 1890s, before the automotive era.
Type: Anachronisms

Type: Incorrectly regarded as goof
Explanation: This is a common gag or joke of Abbott and Costello. Their films are loaded with anachronisms.
You are being incredibly nit-picky and might as well give up watching any Abbott and Costello movie because EVERY SINGLE ONE has anachronisms. It's part of the shtick, their comedy, and what makes their movies fun for their true fans.
Catching an anachronism in an A&C movie is not the same as say, noticing a wristwatch on the arm of a bit player in Ben Hur or Spartacus; that would be a true goof.
