1998 Filmonsters: The Werewolf Reborn! and Frankenstein Reborn!

Filmonsters was a line of PG-rated creature features made by Full Moon Pictures that are based on Universal's classic movie monsters. The Charles Band-produced franchise didn't last long as The Werewolf Reborn! and Frankenstein Reborn! were the only two films in the series that ever got made despite the graveyard intro showing all the other potential Filmonsters to come.

Both films are aimed at a fairly young audience, so neither of them are all that horrifying and they both feature teenage girl protagonists. They're not bad but they feel like mediocre episodes of "Goosebumps" or "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". Each film was released on VHS in October 1998 followed by a Double Feature DVD release in 2003.
