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?
