Continuity mistake: During Larry Talbot's first transformation into the Wolf Man in the hospital, he goes from wearing light-colored pajamas to a dark shirt and pants. When he awakens the next morning, he's back wearing the pajamas.
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Roy William Neill
Starring: Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill, Ilona Massey, Patric Knowles
Other mistake: Despite the early scenes being set in Cardiff and its environs, not one character has a South Wales accent.
Maleva: Are you the proprietor?
Vazec: I am. What do you beggars want?
Trivia: With this film Bela Lugosi makes a trilogy playing the roles of Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein's monster.
Suggested correction: Technically, Lugosi did not play THE Wolf Man. He played A Wolf Man who infected Larry Talbot. He never appeared in werewolf makeup.
Question: In the 1941 movie "The Wolfman", the poem about werewolves ends with "And the Autumn moon is bright." In this movie, why was it changed to "And the moon is full and bright"?
Answer: In The Wolfman, it is implied Talbot transformed every night. For Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, the story required that it only happen occasionally (allowing him to travel to Europe without becoming a beast every night). Therefore, the lore was reconned to state that he only changed during the full moon.
