I honestly forget which of the Universal Frankensteins this is from... I've posted this photo in the Random Acts of Geekery before, and someone pointed out where it's from, but I can't find that entry now!
It's from the third movie in the Universal series, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939). The fleshiness of Karloff's face, the style of Jack Pierce's makeup, and -- oh, yeah -- the collar of that damnable fur coat are all giveaways.
The Blog of Frankenstein is your daily destination for vintage Frankenstein-related goodies, including posters, lobby cards, stills, toys, and other coolness! And yes, I know that Frankenstein was the doctor, and not the monster... but the term has become such common use thanks to toys and the like over the years that I don't have a problem sometimes using "Frankenstein" to refer to the monster.
I have been a Navy journalist, word processor, graphic designer, medical assisting student, cook, and truck driver, and am currently an eBay seller as well as an employee at a big retail store. I have been and always will be into comics, sf, tv, cartoons, monsters, oldies rock, and lots of other stuff.
