From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
House of Frankenstein 1997 (also called simply House of Frankenstein in some advertisements) is a television mini-series that revives Universal's classic threesome, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and the Wolf Man. This reinterpretation is set in late 1990s Los Angeles, with the action revolving around a nightclub named House of Frankenstein that is full of vampires. It first aired on October 28, 1997 on the NBC television network, which also produced it.
[edit] Characters
- Dracula is known to the police as a serial killer nicknamed "The Midnight Raptor" but he is known in human form as millionaire Crispian Grimes, owner of the nightclub House of Frankenstein, which is secretly a haven for vampires.
- Frankenstein's monster is based off of the novel more than previous movie incarnations of this character. He is discovered frozen in a block of ice and planned as an exhibit for House of Frankenstein, then escapes.
- The Wolf Man is unlike the Universal character in that he is also evil when he is in human form, and he transforms into an actual wolf. He has little screen time.
- Vernon Coyle is a police detective trying to solve the case of "The Midnight Raptor."
- Grace Dawkins is a newly bitten werewolf who is also the love interest of detective Vernon Coyle. She has much more screen time than the Wolf Man does.
