History Film / SonOfFrankenstein

* RememberTheNewGuy: The film introduces Ygor as a grave robber hired by Wolf's father to supply body for his experiments, but this is the first time he's ever seen or mentioned. In fact, the original film shows Henry Frankenstein robbing graves on his own with Fritz's help.

* DropTheHammer: Ygor tries to attack Baron with his smithing hammer when he comes looking for him. It doesn't end well for old Ygor, who gets shot where he stands.

* StylisticSuck: Many comment on how the sets look really cheap, including Frankenstein Manor which looks more like a bad stageplay than a big Hollywood movie. Watching the documentaries though reveal this was on purpose, as the director wanted to give the film a dream-like quality, with things half finished and empty to show Wolf stepping out of the normal world and into this bizarre world [[BrideOfFrankenstein gods and monsters]].

A couple decades after the events of ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'', Dr. [[AwesomeMcCoolName Wolf von Frankenstein]] with his wife and son arrive in the town of Frankenstein ([[RetCon previously known]] as Goldstadt) to claim his inheritance from his late father, namely the Castle Frankenstein. Terror of the Monster still fresh on their minds, the townsfolk shun Wolf but he keeps his mind open. He meets his father's previous assistant Ygor, who survived a hanging attempt following his conviction for GraveRobbing. Ygor reveals that the Monster is still alive, but is in bad shape due to being struck by lightning one night, and begs Wolf to help it. Wolf decides to restore the Monster [[ForScience in the name of science]], but Ygor has other plans in mind...

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Baron Wolf von Frankenstein. Though this could also double as NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast, considering his eagerness of following his father's footsteps.

* AdultFear:
** When Peter starts mentioning he's seen a giant, both Wolf and Krogh become visibly afraid. Krogh moreso when Peter mentions that in his encounter with said giant, the giant held the boy's arm. Considering his history with the Monster, it completely terrifies Krogh.
** Peter getting kidnapped by the Monster which the latter decides to do in revenge for Ygor.

** This film appears to be based on a scenario where Henry dies at the end of ''Bride'', but Elizabeth survives (either while pregnant or already having sons). (The original ending of Bride where Henry dies would mean Elizabeth does, too) there are other things that don't quite gel with the previous film as well.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Peter meets Inspector Krogh, the young boy innocently doesn't grasp the fact that Krogh's prosthetic arm is a rather sensitive subjective.

* WouldHurtAChild: The Monster did this to [[HandicappedBadass Inspector Krogh]] in the backstory, ripping his arm out of its socket, and he tries to do it to the Baron's son in [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge revenge for Ygor's death]]. While he hesitates abit when he picks Peter up above the sulfur pits, it however is made clear that he really wants to harm Peter as evident in his confrontation with Krogh. In order to stop Peter from getting away, the Monster basically pins down the frightened young lad's whole body with his massive foot.

''Son of Frankenstein'' is a 1939 horror film, the third film in Creator/{{Universal}}'s ''Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}'' series. It stars Creator/BasilRathbone as the eponymous son, Creator/BelaLugosi as Ygor and Creator/BorisKarloff as FrankensteinsMonster for the final time in his career (Dr. Henry Frankenstein does not appear in the film, however, due to Colin Clive's death in 1937).

''Son'' is considered to be Universal's last great ''Frankenstein'' movie and Lugosi's portrayal of Ygor is often hailed as his career's high-point. Its basic concept and a number of ideas unique to it (e.g. Krogh's artificial arm) were specifically parodied by ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.

* ConspicuousGloves: Inspector Krogh has [[ArtificialLimbs a prosthetic arm]] (having lost his right arm when a child, the Monster tearing it off the boy) and he wears a glove on it indoors and out. He does remove the left glove in some indoors scenes There's a bit of black comedy when the actor (Lionel Atwill) sets the position of his right arm with his left hand to "demonstrate" the right arm is prosthetic.

* DropTheHammer: Ygor tries to attacke Baron with his smithing hammer when he comes looking for him. It doesn't end well for old Ygor, who gets shot where he stands.

* HaveAGayOldTime: A refrence is made to being "gay as larks".

* HamToHamCombat: The darts scene. You might as well replace Basil Rathbone and Lionel Atwill's dialogue with "See here, I'm about to out-act you!" "Oh really? Well, I say I'M about to out-act YOU!"
