Thomas Benson is Wolf Frankenstein's butler in Son of Frankenstein. He was played by Edgar Norton. In addition to being Wolf's butler, Benson sometimes served as his lab assistant. When Wolf agreed to help Ygor revive the Frankenstein Monster, he let Benson in on their little secret so that he could assist him (despite the objections of Ygor, who wanted no one but himself to know that the Monster was still around). Benson told Wolf that they should inform Inspector Krogh of the Monster, unaware that Ygor was listening. The Monster killed Benson on Ygor's order, and his body was later discovered by Krogh stashed in a secret passage that led from the Frankenstein estate to Wolf's laboratory.
