Coming near the end of the initial cycle of the Universal Monsters horror films, House of Dracula is more science fiction than horror and incorporates some of the more cheesy elements which would come to typify the sci-fi films of the 1950's. Lon Chaney Jr. plays the Wolf Man, and John Carradine, Dracula.

A mad scientist sets out to "cure" both monsters of their "sicknesses" by means of modern [read:mad] science. When the scientist's beautiful nurse-assistant is revealed to be a hunchback early in the film, the viewer is thereby alerted to the fact this film is not going to be typical Universal fare.

I saw this recently and found the film quite enjoyable.
