The Son of Frankenstein (1939)

The movie centers around the son of Dr. Frankenstein, who created the monster, and how he met a man who is hiding the corpse of the creature that his father created. Because the creature has wreaked so much havoc and tarnished the Frankenstein dynasty, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, the son, intends to bring the creature back to life and right any wrongs. Both Wolf von Frankenstein and his wife struggle to make connections in their new town, as the locals harbor strong opinions about the monster, and the pain that he caused in the past. The movie was directed by Rowland V. Lee, and is the third installment of the movies surrounding Frankenstein that were released in the 1930's consecutively (Pfeiffer).
