I can't vouch for the quality of the DVD you bought -- experience has taught me you get what you pay for on the digital front -- but I can tell you the movie is lot of fun, marrying two genres that were breathing their last in mid-1960s -- Westerns and period horror. Oh, I know that Hammer Studios soldiered on 'til the end of the decade, but Americans pretty much gave up the ghost (no pun intended).
The Blog of Frankenstein is your daily destination for vintage Frankenstein-related goodies, including posters, lobby cards, stills, toys, and other coolness! And yes, I know that Frankenstein was the doctor, and not the monster... but the term has become such common use thanks to toys and the like over the years that I don't have a problem sometimes using "Frankenstein" to refer to the monster.
I have been a Navy journalist, word processor, graphic designer, medical assisting student, cook, and truck driver, and am currently an eBay seller as well as an employee at a big retail store. I have been and always will be into comics, sf, tv, cartoons, monsters, oldies rock, and lots of other stuff.

Wow, amazing. I have never seen that. Interesting Frankenstein, if that is, in fact, him behind Jesse James.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

ReplyDeleteDavid - For a buck, I can't complain too much about the quality! Certainly it's better quality than I'd find online!
ReplyDeleteI have seen it before -- when I was probably 12 or so -- just haven't rewatched it since buying it!
Frog Queen - That is indeed the Monster of that movie!
