How to Make a Monster (1958)
Director: Herbert L. Strock
Starring: Robert H. Harris, Paul Brinegar, Gary Conway, Gary Clarke, Morris Ankrum

Another of AIP\'s teenage drive-in monster movies from the fifties. How to Make a Monster served as a cost-effective way to parlay a couple of AIP\'s recent monster successes, the Teenage Werewolf and the Teenage Frankenstein into yet another high-grossing boxoffice success with the drive-in audiences. "It’s a bizarre semi-sequel to two bona fide classics - I was a Teenage Werewolf and I was a Teenage Frankenstein - and it features props from several other AIP productions. But mostly it’s just a stark raving wacky storyline played deliciously straight."(MJSimpson.co.uk)

Plot:
Set on a motion picture studio lot, this one tells the tale of master makeup artist Pete Dumond (Robert H. Harris, Peyton Place) and his sniveling assistant, Rivero (Paul Brinegar, The Vampire). Dumond\'s monsters are the best in the industry, with Teenage Werewolf and Teenage Frankenstein being his current crowning achievements. The studio\'s been sold, however, and the new owners say monsters are passé—it\'s musicals the public wants. Upon completing his current scare picture, Dumond and Rivero are told to pack up and take a hike. Oddly enough, an outbreak of murders suddenly plagues the studio as the new executives are brutally killed by what appear to be real monsters.

Review:
"This is a reasonably entertaining picture, especially to those who harbor fondness for the two teenage monsters. While Michael Landon didn\'t return to reprise his role from I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Gary Conway did return to resume his muscle-bound mayhem as the Teenage Frankenstein. Naturally, the local dicks (that is, police investigators) are a rather investigatively impotent bunch that has difficulty seeing the obvious connection between a displaced makeup man and the monstrous mutilations. The highlight of the film comes in the final reel when the image transforms from black and white to glorious color (a tactic also used in I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and the unrelated War of the Colossal Beast)." - DVD Verdict
