This is an excellent video! Using the shooting script they present the deleted dialog and various scenes that were (stupidly) excised from the film showing how much stronger the movie's story would have been. I long for the day we learn of the discovery of the footage from this beloved film that would allow for a patched together reassembly. But since the chances of that happening are virtually nonexistent this is a pretty solid substitute. Check it out!

Mystery Film Clip From THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942)
At the end of THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942) the Frankenstein Monster goes on a rampage and dies a fiery death in the blazing laboratory. I've seen photos of the scorched Monster outside the burning house including in the published script of the film. It was always thought to be nothing more than a posed publicity still until on a 1959 episode of "The Steve Allen Show", a joke montage featured this mysterious clip. It seems to be actual film footage of the Monster staggering away from the burning building at the end of the movie.
Is this part of an entirely different ending that was filmed, but never used?

Bear Wrestling Scene Deleted From "THE WOLF MAN" (1941)
For some reason this famously lost scene popped into my head today. As I've talked about in a couple of recent podcasts I've begun to notice more gaps in various movies where sequences either scripted or even shot are missing. It gets a little odd at times - like I'm playing 'Spot the Jumping Narrative'.
