the horror of frankenstein (1970)

Ralph Bates is Victor Frankenstein, a descendant of the infamous, Baron Von Frankenstein, who follows in the Barons footsteps creating his own monster.
Instead of straight up Gothic horror, hammer decided to re-work the genre creating a more comic drama, with tongue firmly in it's cheek. Some don't take to the comedy elements, but I rather like this twist to the tale, and some of the characters such as Dennis Price's graverobber, add an extra dimension to the film.
