How to Make a Monster 1958

How to Make a Monster is a 1958 American horror film released by American International Pictures. The film is a follow up to both I Was a Teenage Werewolf and I Was a Teenage Frankenstein. Filmed in black & white, with the last reel filmed in color.

Trivia:

This was advertised with the tagline “See the Ghastly Ghouls in Flaming Color!” However, most of the movie was in black and white with only the final two reels in color.

Samuel Z. Arkoff wanted Bela Lugosi for the lead in this film. Lugosi was an influence to Arkoff years before. Unfortunately, Lugosi had died in 1956.

 

Edward D. Wood Jr. claimed that the idea for this film was originally his.

 

In one scene the visitors to the studio are told that they are going to be taken to the set of Horrors of the Black Museum (1959). This was an advanced plug for what would be the next film to be produced and written by Herman Cohen.
