He had to be an evolving character
and interact with the others,

:40:06
or he would become the lifeless prop
Karloff sensed coming into being

:40:09
after Son of Frankenstein.

Universal publicists refused to believe
the novelty was gone.

A New York Times squib
reported that, during production,

:40:17
Laemmle insisted that Karloff
wear a veil over his monstrous features

:40:21
when walking to and from the stage -
the same gambit they had milked in 1931.

:40:25
The Times reporter was sceptical -
:40:27
who, in 1935, didn't know already
what the monster looked like?

The melody being fiddled

Whale had used Carradine

of Dracula to his considerable résumé.

:41:36
In late life, Carradine raised eyebrows
:41:39
by insisting that he had turned down the
role of the Frankenstein monster in 1931.

:41:45
Karloff emits the warning growl
:41:46
which Franz Waxman picked up on
as the monster's secondary danger-motif.
