One of Hammer’s most enduring and successful releases, 1958’s The Revenge of Frankenstein swiftly followed the box-office smash The Curse of Frankenstein. This sequel marked the beginning of Hammer’s most commercially lucrative period, solidifying their reputation as masters of gruesome Gothic horror.

Jimmy Sangster’s ingenious script reworks the classic tale, with Dr. Frankenstein continuing his grisly experiments under a new guise in a pauper’s hospital. Peter Cushing, in sparkling form, relishes the role of Dr. Frankenstein, creating an enduring anti-hero that would define both Hammer’s and his own on-screen personas.

Experience the chilling continuation of Frankenstein’s dark experiments in The Revenge of Frankenstein, now available on DVD. This Hammer classic is a must-see for fans of Gothic horror and timeless suspense.
