Synopsis
With the help of Karl, the crippled dwarf hangman, whom he promises to give a new body, Frankenstein escapes the gallows and they hang the officiating priest instead. Under the name Stein, Frankenstein sets up practice in the town of Karlsbruck, alternating between volunteer work at the poor hospital, which is a goldmine of parts to build up Karl’s new body, and private practice where his courtly charms draw him the devotion of the upper-classes

Critics' reviews
- "Surpassed in its shocking effects perhaps only by Warhol's version."
- "This is a high grade horror film."
- "Expertly executed example of a golden time in British cinema - one to savour."
- "In one of his best performances, Cushing plays on the ambiguity of the central character, so that the Baron becomes a kind of Wildean martyr, alternating between noble defiance and detached cruelty."
