Never really saw The Wolfman in the same class as Dracula and Frankenstein, and definitely not The Bride of Frankenstein, the best of the lot. Lon Chaney Jr was always strictly second division for me

Not seen it myself but some critics rate The Ghost of Frankenstein as an excellent film with Chaney playing the creature.

It’s an entertaining film but Chaney has none of the pathos and subtlety of Karloff and, as mentioned earlier, production values were considerably reduced
I'm not particularly a fan of Chaney but I feel he was doomed by the shadow of his father.
Chronic alcoholism didn't help his career either!
