The Collector’s Edition includes stunning new artwork by Johnny Dombrowski, two posters, a 64 page perfect bound booklet featuring new essays and the original press kit, and is packed with extras.

Hammer legend Jimmy Sangster (The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula) made his directorial
debut with THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN, inspired by the groundbreaking Mary Shelley horror novel, a bold experiment in horror comedy that features an outstanding cast, including Hammer film favourites Ralph Bates (Twins of Evil), Kate O’Mara (The Vampire Lovers) and Veronica Carlson (Dracula Has Risen From The Grave), as well as David Prowse (Star Wars) as the Monster, Jon Finch (Frenzy) and Dennis Price (Horror Hospital).

Described by Starburst magazine as “a great addition to any Hammer fans collection”, THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN is a sheerly entertaining chiller, with fantastic performances from Bates as Frankenstein and Prowse as the monster.

SYNOPSIS: When the cold, arrogant genius Victor Frankenstein (Ralph Bates) murders his father, he inherits the title of Baron von Frankenstein and the family fortune. He uses his newfound riches to enter medical school, but is forced to return home when he impregnates the Dean’s daughter. Returning to his estate, he sets up his own laboratory and begins a series of experiments involving the revival of the dead. After building a composite body from human parts, his creation (David Prowse) is unleashed upon the world…
