MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN "...and the Plant"

It's Halloween, and we've reached the final "horror" Frankenstein tale...

...featuring a plotline that may have inspired...well let's see if you can guess!

Think screenwriter Charles Griffith or producer/director/uncredited screenwriter Roger Corman or were influenced by this tale from Prize's Monster of Frankenstein #33 (1954) when they created the movie...

...in 1960?

And so the "horror comics" version of Dick Briefer's Monster of Frankenstein ended.

Briefer would try to revive the "humorous" version (whch pre-dated the "horror comics" incarnation) as a newspaper strip.

Sadly, no syndicate was interested in carrying it!

MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN "Beautiful Dead"

Bet you don't guess the ending to this tale...

...but here's a clue: it involves mistaken identification...but not mistaken identity!

Yuk!

Now, if you think about it. with a number of tales referencing a timeframe of months, this story from Prize's Monster of Frankenstein #32 (1954), should actually be taking place in 1956-57!

No, we didn't make a mistake!

This is the second Frankenstein tale in this run to be entitled "Battle of the Monsters"!

MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN "Three-Fold Horror and Revenge"

A few of Dick Briefer's stories took on the "feel" of Grimms' fairy tales...

...and I'm talking the original, scary versions, not the Disneyfied rewrites kids today learn!

Not subtle, but then, it wasn't meant to be!
