Hi Luis,
Been so long since I saw the universal horror films, that it is hard to make comparisons. I remember loving them when I was a very young kid. Especially Carey Jr. as the Wolfman. I guess this was the first Hollywood shared/ crossover universe.
I think you’re going to get a lot of stick here for the format you have presented this in. Not sure why you did it. I’ve read quite a few of your feature scripts and they are formatted correctly. I actually thought it was supposed to be a radio play.
There’s no sluglines, no description of the announcer. Basically what we witness here is the monsters gathered for the birth of Frankenstein’s monster and that’s it. This appears to be a comedy send up.
The one redeeming thing about this is the dialogue is quite snappy, especially from Dr. Frankenstein. That’s going to be one expensive short!
