1943’s Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man stars Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein’s monster, and Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man. The film is a sequel to both The Ghost of Frankenstein and The Wolf Man.

Following the box office successes of Dracula and Frankenstein, Universal commissioned a new monster movie inspired by the media sensation caused by the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 and the “Curse of the Pharaohs.” Since, unlike with Dracula and Frankenstein, there was no literary source material, there were a number of iterations before they got there.

The Wolf Man launched one of the most important series in the Universal Monsters movies canon, crossing over the Wolf Man films with Frankenstein, Dracula, and even Abbott and Costello.
