Brief Synopsis:
This is the final film in a project that aims to bring tighter editing, improved pacing & stronger continuity to a series of 4 Frankenstein films.
Intention:
My intention was to make this film fit in more closely with the Universal Frankenstein films.
The original version is a loving parody of those films, but uses names from the novel for legal reasons.
