Comments: That hairstyle is hot! Gets a little goofy in the middle and then folds up and exits very quickly once the hairdo finally shows up. Disappointing, but I still like it. The film is well lit
Summary: Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr. Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.
