joaquin f it sucks really sucks ,,,,,much better horror movies in the 50s Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Matt R Made by American International Pictures and Sam Arkoff, this dark fun and sinister picture takes advantage of their earlier monster movies and the work of Paul Blaisdell to set the scene. The teenage werewolf and teenage Frankenstein do Pete's bidding through hypnosis and mind controlling face paint. Robert H. Harris (Valley of the Dolls) plays Pete the manipulative makeup man wonderfully. HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER is an amusing movie for any Monster Kid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z A lame attempt at self parody in a kind of meta movie. Movie monster makeup wiz gets canned, Takes revenge on studio execs, using movie monsters, Film does have better acting than most low budget 1950's B movie productions, But overall, an unremarkable film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Ted B 3.0 stars; Another one of those 50's 'Creature Features'. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. This was not a classic. But they got their money's worth. It was an economical use of two previous creature features. It's not a classic, but i've seen worse. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Dallas H This is a fun movie! To a certain degree, it's a "meta" movie before the word became a trendy meme reference on the television sitcom Community. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review DMZABO Could of been a bit more scary. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
