Viewing Notes

Another horror film on TCM OnDemand from their month of horror. I’ve never been crazy about this adaptation because it’s so mean spirited and lacks the empathy and tragedy of the creature. Peter Cushing is great but he’s such an evil bastard. I’d love to hear or read an interview on why Christopher Lee took this role.
