House of Dracula (1945)
House of Frankenstein (1944)
The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)


Kenton's Island of Lost Souls is a genre classic I've wanted to see and never had the chance to, as far as I know it's never been shown on British tv or released on video or dvd. I don't know what the problem is with this film, probably the only horror/sci-fi classic that few, if any, Brits have seen, weird.

Rankings

1)House of Frankenstein
2)House of Dracula
3)Ghost of Frankenstein


Average Rating 3 out of 5
