Monsters never stay dead for long, especially when there is money to be made. After surprisingly successful re-releases of Frankenstein and Dracula in 1938, Universal returned to the formula with a vengeance, producing Son of Frankenstein the following year. Throughout the 1940s they recycled their classical monsters in films like Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), House of Dracula (1945), and eventually even Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). Producer Val Lewton at RKO created a string of moody psychological horror films like Cat People (1942), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), and The Body Snatcher (1945). After World War II, horror increasingly hybridized with Science Fiction and began to address fears associated with the Cold War: (alien) invasion from without, subversion from within, and the potentially monstrous effects of nuclear radiation.
