Does this short film count as a Frankenstein movie ? It is about a Mad Scientist who builds a robot, which then goes on a rampage.
Thelma Todd (1906-35) and Patsy Kelly (1910-81) made a total of 21 short films for Hal Roach, released by MGM, between 1933 and 1936, the last being released after Todd's death in 1935. They were basically a female Laurel and Hardy team, and very funny.
In The Tin Man (1935), the two are trying to find a house at night, but have not written down the address, and stop at a strange house to use the telephone. It turns out to be the abode of a Mad Scientist, who wants revenge, and unleashes his creation on the pair.
In the end they escape, and capture an escaped convict. Great fun.
