1931 Frankenstein rumor

A few years ago, I heard that the wig Boris Karloff wore in Frankenstein was originally made for Lon Chaney Sr.

But he died during the pre-production.

Is this true?

as far as i know that would be incorrect

HOWEVER.........

Bela Lego was offered the role of the monster first but he turned it down as he felt he was too big of a star after dracula, of course when you see him play the monster in frankenstein meets the wolfman all you have to say is thank god he turned it down as his veron of the monster was horrible at best
