How to Make a Monster

When a master monster make-up artist is sacked by the new bosses of American International studios, he uses his creations to exact revenge.


A self-contained sequel of sorts to American International Pictures’ previous hit films I Was a Teenage Werewolf and I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, the tongue-in-cheek film is set almost entirely at a fictional movie studio. A mild attempt at satire on the movie business and an old-fashioned murder mystery plot, with a fiery finale!

Cult director Ed Wood’s widow Kathy Wood has claimed that the studio stole the idea for How to Make a Monster from him.
