I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (U.K. title: Teenage Frankenstein) is a 1957 horror film starring Whit Bissell, Phyllis Coates and Gary Conway. It was previewed by American International Pictures (AIP) in November 1957 as a double feature with Blood of Dracula (1957). It was the follow-up to AIP's box office hit I Was a Teenage Werewolf, released less than five months earlier. Both films later received a sequel in the crossover How to Make a Monster, released in July 1958. The film stars Whit Bissell, Phyllis Coates, Robert Burton, Gary Conway and George Lynn. Philip Scheer did the Makeup, Jerry Young was the Editor, Lothrop Worth was cinematographer, Paul Dunlap did the music and Leslie Thomas was Art Director.
