How to Make a Monster (1958)

Trivia

How to Make a Monster

Edit
This film was advertised with the tagline "See the Ghastly Ghouls... IN FLAMING COLOR!" However, most of it was in black and white with only the final two reels in color.
Samuel Z. Arkoff wanted Bela Lugosi for the lead role in this film. Lugosi was an influence to Arkoff years before. Unfortunately, Lugosi had already died in 1956.
Hanging on the wall of Pete Dumond's home are the heads of several of Paul Blaisdell's monster creations from It Conquered the World (1956), Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957), and The She-Creature (1956).
Gary Conway reprized his role as the Teenage Frankenstein from I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957).
In one scene in the film, 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.
