I am looking for Bela Lugosi on Super 8mm Sound and know of only a couple of releases period. Does anyone have a complete/incomplete list of his films released on Super 8mm sound? I know Niles films released WHITE ZOMBIE and, I believe, RETURN OF CHANDU the feature version. The MYSTERY OF THE MARIE CELESTE is also available, but that's where I leave off. Someone told me they actually released THE APE MAN, VOODOO MAN and others on an English label, but I have not seen any proof of this. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Am looking for WHITE ZOMBIE, RETURN OF CHANDU, and any others that may turn up. Thank you.

THE TRIAL OF FRANKENSTEIN
This is one of two edited excerpts from Universal's "The Ghost of Frankenstein" with Lon Chaney Jr. ascending to the role of the monster and Bela Lugosi reprising his role as Algore, the devious, conniving control freak trying to rule the world (no, I didn't mis-spell the name!) Assuming that the home movie collector never saw the full length feature, Castle Films edited and re-arranged the scenes to tell some primitive idea of a story. What results is more like the feel of a chapter serial. Still, it is an entertaining short that gives the customer their moneys worth with plenty of action an minimal plot dialogue.
Super 8mm Sound / b & w /200--foot reel / Ex-LN condition / mint orig.
box...............$30.
THE WOLFMAN (Universal 8 Expanded digest)

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943)
starring Lon Chaney, Jr & Bela Lugosi
In this Castle Films digest, two grave robbers break into the family crypt of the Talbots to steal Larry's ring. The full moon comes up and the revived wolf man escapes. Next scene, the villagers carry back a dead girl killed by the wolf man and decide to hunt him down. The wolf man falls into the cellar of the castle which Frankenstein's monster is standing around so they decide to beat the crap out of each other but this title match is cut short by an exploding dam which floods the castle as the monsters continue to fight in the flooding waters.

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943) Expanded digest
starring Lon Chaney, Jr & Bela Lugosi
This expanded edition starts with Talbot's arrival in Vasaria to meet with the Baroness Frankenstein in the hope that he will get her father's record's. While attending the Festival of the Wine, Dr. Mannering catches up with him but the monster terrorizes the gathering and Talbot escapes with the monster to the castle. Soon, Mannering, the Baroness and the old gypsy woman come to the aid of Talbot and the laboratory is restored. With the machines in full power and suspicious villagers are revolting ("They stink on ice!") and as the monster "gnaws" his way at the wolf man, the dam is blown up and the monsters are flooded away to another sequel.
Super 8mm Sound / b & w / 400-foot reel edition from Universal 8 / with original box / ...........$60.
THE SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (original digest version, later withdrawn)
starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Basil Rathbone
This is the early original digest version Castle put out before withdrawing it and re-editing the digest using different scenes.
In this early edition, the focus is on Rathbone and his family and the little twerp of a son ("Well, helloooo") After this nauseating scene, the digest continues with his attempts to resurrect the monster from his coma in a laboratory that could be only described as "Strickfadden-lite". The monster awakens to kidnap the obnoxious little son of Rathbone's and is kicked into the convenient sulfur pit before he can bludgeon anyone to death with Atwill's wooden arm.
