Viewing Notes
Another TCM movie picked by guest programmer John Carpenter, Curse of Frankenstein was the first Hammer horror film pairing Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It was also the first color movie of the Frankenstein story.
The monster makeup on Lee is spectacular. Lee livens up the character a lot more, adding a schizophrenic, disjointed, angular quality to the monster that one might expect from a creature sewn together from the body parts of multiple dead people.
