(In the Universal films, they focused on the monster through several generations of Frankensteins.) Cushing slides evilly from one movie to the next, usually creating an entirely new monster for each film. You have to admire his willingness to stick with it until he gets it right. <BR/><BR/>In point of fact, however, it was the Universal films that first tied the traveling circus folk to the Frankenstein story--in "House of Frankenstein" at least, where Karloff returned to play the doctor to Glenn Strange's creature! <BR/><BR/>Gosh, I love these old films.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738870260010261143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-68792447990027885622007-12-08T08:01:00.000-08:002007-12-08T08:01:00.000-08:00It's odd, I saw this one on Sky Movies the other d...It's odd, I saw this one on Sky Movies the other day.<BR/>The Monster make-up is different to the make-up they used on Christopher Lee in the original. And the creation scene is different.<BR/><BR/>But still, glorious looking as always.Rob Spaldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382063783975784115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-1286070467892451822007-12-08T07:58:00.000-08:002007-12-08T07:58:00.000-08:00I haven't seen it yet :(I haven't seen it yet :(BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-70948307721098847542007-12-08T07:03:00.000-08:002007-12-08T07:03:00.000-08:00Hammer films aew just great - and you're totally r...Hammer films aew just great - and you're totally right about how good they look! I'm working my way through the 21-film box set at the moment and that doesn't contain the original Frankenstein either, though I'm sure I've seen it on TV when I was a teenager.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, didn't you think the John McNaughton episode in the first series of Masters of Horror was a total homage to Hammer movies?pot head pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043225264662244387noreply@blogger.com
