The Curse of Frankenstein

Science or madness? Baron Victor Frankenstein has discovered life's secret and unleashed a blood-curdling chain of events resulting from his creation: a cursed creature with a horrid face... and a tendency to kill.The Curse of Frankenstein is the film that started it all, creature portrayer Christopher Lee said. Indeed, this exciting classic from Britain's Hammer Studios almost single-handedly revived screen gothic horror and initiated a series of scream hits pairing Lee and Peter Cushing (playing Victor).The monster's appearance shocked audience... and before that, the cast and crew. No one would eat with me (during lunch breaks) because I looked so awful! Lee recalled. As the original ad campaign requested: Please try not to faint.
