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

after Son of Frankenstein.

Universal publicists refused to believe
the novelty was gone.
:40:15
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?

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.
: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.
