More of the FRANKENSTEIN that could have been!

I never noticed this cool Caligari-like enclave and window from FRANKENSTEIN until I saw this still in Saki Hijiri‘s Monster Zoo magazine.

James Whale makes no use of it. It and the Watchtower stairs appear briefly in THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE, and just jumps out at you!

Imagine if Robert Florey had directed FRANKENSTEIN, with Lugosi as the Scientist and Karloff as the Monster?!
