The phrase "confined to a wheelchair" is demeaning, offensive, and oppressive and should not be used here. A person is never "confined to a wheelchair": he doesn't shower or sleep in his wheelchair. When he rides a plane he rides in a seat, not his wheelchair. "Confined" is inaccurate and conveys an inaccurate stereotype of inability of wheelchair users to engage in sexual, social, travel and physical pursuits.
The plot summary is a little dense for a lede section; covering that Drac and the Wolf Man are searching for cures, that Talbot finds Frankenstein's monster, and that Edelmann becomes transformed into a monster himself should cover it without the current levels of detail"
I would say not, as WP:EGG mostly refers to when you think something will link to a common term and then it doesn't; since Dr. Niemann is original to this particular film, someone wanting to know about the character would end up there anyway, if that makes any sense. — GhostRiver15:10, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Some reordering is in order so that we know the working title was Destiny by the time we get to the studio memo; currently we only get "titled Destiny" in the second para
"Dracula was being portrayed again by Carradine as he had in House of Frankenstein." → "Carradine instead portrayed Dracula, reprising his role from House of Frankenstein."
"To save on lumber and nails for the war effort, existing sets were reused. The props and sets were from earlier films including The Invisible Woman and The Mummy's Hand." → "To save on lumber and nails for the war effort, existing props and sets from films such as The Invisible Woman and The Mummy's Hand were reused."
"$4.6 million which led to it dropping many actors from their contract roster including Chaney." → "$4.6 million. They responded by dropping many actors from their contract roster, including Chaney."
That's all I have! Looks like a lot, but it's mostly minor grammatical things. Putting on hold for now; feel free to ping me with questions, and let me know when you're ready for me to take another look! — GhostRiver03:33, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
