The melody being fiddled

The hunters - on the left, John Carradine,
and Robert Adair.

Whale had used Carradine
in a small part in The Invisible Man.

In the 1940s, Carradine added the role
of Dracula to his considerable résumé.

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

Karloff emits the warning growl
:41:46
which Franz Waxman picked up on
as the monster's secondary danger-motif.
:42:32
Shortly, the monster will stumble
into a group of children
:42:35

Marilyn Harris, the drowned Maria

:42:55
He would use Marilyn again
in Show Boat and The Road Back.

Balderston's July 23rd script had
the angry monster wrestle and destroy
