Anecdotes
This film was advertised with the tagline "See the Ghastly Ghouls... IN FLAMING COLOR!" However, most of it was in black and white with only the final two reels in color.

Gaffes
The visitors to the studio are told they are about to visit the set of Crimes au musée des horreurs (1959). That film, which was also produced and written by Herman Cohen, was actually filmed in England, not in the U.S.

Pete Dumond: Sometimes I find them better company than humans.

Nobody Appreciates The Makeup Artists

It can never be said that American International Pictures doesn't have a sense of humor. The studio that gave us such classics as I Was A Teenage Frankenstein and I Was A Teenage Werewolf joins the two teen monsters in a cute satire of the genre.

A new day is dawning at American International, the new studio heads want no more monster pictures that were the bread and butter of its existence and paid a nice living for makeup artist Robert H. Harris. They want lighter fare for the public and give poor Harris the old heave ho.

But Harris isn't taking it lying down. A new makeup base applied to the skull allows Harris to control those he applies it on and he takes his two teen stars from Teenage Frankenstein and Werewolf and starts sending them on a murder spree and bringing back trophies.

Gary Clarke and Gary Conway were Harris's two subjects and they and Harris went along with the fun. A whole lot of familiar character actors get involved.

It's American Internation so don't expect any high production values. But it actually isn't too bad.

How To Make A Monster is made up in fact with tongue firmly in cheek.
