In “Bride of Frankenstein,” the creature actually did talk, at times expressing himself rather eloquently. His final words (looking at Dr. Pretorius and the Bride) were “we belong dead.” He was supposed to speak in “Son of Frankenstein,” but the studio changed the script (I think this was one of the reasons Karloff declined to play the creature after that point, though he did appear as the mad scientist in “House of Frankenstein”). Bela Lugosi also voiced the creature in “Ghost of Frankenstein,” though Lon Chaney played the creature (the plot involved transplanting Ygor’s brain into the creature).

And, of course, Peter Boyle…
