How House of Frankenstein scares

House of Frankenstein is an old-fashioned monster mash rather than a true scare machine, stitching together Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster into one carnival-style tale. The mood is gothic and shadowy, with creaky castles and fog, but the pace is brisk and pulpy instead of slow and dreadful. It's more spooky adventure than horror in the modern sense, with barely any blood and nothing that lingers once the lights come up. Good for classic monster movie fans or a lighthearted, old-school Halloween watch rather than anyone looking to be genuinely unsettled.
