History Film / FrankensteinMeetsTheWolfman

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We last see Maleva just before the final scenes which result in the destruction of the whole structure and the escape of the doctor and Baroness, but we never learn what her final fate is. The behind-the-scenes explanation was that actress Maria Ouspenskaya was hospitalized after a horse and buggy turned a corner a bit too quickly, causing the buggy to topple over with her and Chaney still on it. ''Literature/AWerewolfRemembersTheTestamentOfLawrenceStewartTalbot'' revealed what happened to her...

* ArcWords: The "Even a man who is pure in heart..." poem is repeated yet again.

''Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man'' is a Franchise/UniversalHorror movie from 1943. It is a CrossOver sequel for both ''Film/TheWolfMan1941'' and ''Film/TheGhostOfFrankenstein'' and it is Universal's first MonsterMash film. It is today also recognized as the film that established the first "shared universe" by establishing that the four preceding ''Frankenstein'' films, along with ''The Wolf Man'' existed in the same universe. Later Universal films would also add the three Dracula films and a version of The Invisible Man to this shared universe.

After his warnings of his [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent lycanthropy]] are ignored, he escapes and starts searching for the [[UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} Gypsy]]-woman Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya), in hopes that she'll know [[DeathSeeker how to kill him permanently]]. The two set out for the Eastern European village of Vasaria, where, according to Maleva, a certain Dr. Frankenstein lives.

After reaching the place and finding out that Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein is dead and his place is in ruins (as seen in the end of ''The Ghost of Frankenstein''), they attempt to continue their journey, when Larry transforms yet again and in the next morning wakes up in the basement of the ruins. There he finds the FrankensteinsMonster (Creator/BelaLugosi) trapped in a block of ice.

AndIMustScream: The original script and Lugosi's deleted dialogue reveals that when Ygor (with his brain in the monster's body) was frozen at the end of the last film, he remained awake and aware the entire time. In retrospect, this may go some way towards explaining his sudden maniacal desire to rule the world, couple with him generally being an unpleasant jerk.

* PlotHole: The film cuts from Talbot filthy and ragged from his last werewolf transformation to him dressed in a beautiful suit in order to meet Baroness Elsa. It's not shown where the money came from for his transformation, nor how he obtains an American-style suit in Central Europe.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Maleva is found-- and recognized as Talbot's companion-- in the woods as the hunt is on for the killer of the girl. She is arrested, then released to help Mannering and the Baroness make friends with Talbot and the Monster. She is said to come to town and obtain provisions, and we see her in a couple more scenes. But she is not seen in the final scenes which result in the destruction of the whole structure and the escape of the doctor and Baroness, and we never learn what her final fate is. Nor that of her wagon and horse, either.
