1957

The first in Hammer studios' long line of horror films. Awaiting execution in his dingy cell, Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) confides his story to a priest. Orphaned as a child, Frankenstein worked closely with his tutor, Paul Krempe (Robert Urquhart), experimenting on animals until they successfully revived a dead puppy. Much to Paul's unease, Frankenstein then worked obsessively to create a monster (Christopher Lee) out of assorted body parts, but once given life the creature attacked its maker and went on the rampage.<br/><br/>This limited collector's edition comprises:<br/>- Six discs in a stylish digipak: two UHDs and four Blu-rays, with the film and new special features content duplicated on both UHD and Blu-ray.<br/>- Disc six is only featured in the Limited Collector's Edition and will not be available in the retail versions of this film.<br/>- The Curse of Frankenstein is available in the three aspect ratios: widescreen 1.66:1 UK Theatrical, fullscreen 1.37:1 As-Filmed and widescreen 1.85:1 US Theatrical<br/>- Brand-new 5.1 mix for all three iterations alongside the original mono film soundtrack.<br/>- English, French, Italian, Spanish and German subtitles on all versions of the film.<br/>- Packaged in a high-end, leather-feel slipcase with debossed red and green foil titling.<br/>- Rigid inner box featuring new artwork by fan favourite artist Greg Staples.<br/>- Double-sided poster of original one-sheets.<br/>- Eight art cards featuring facsimiles of the original UK cinema lobby cards.<br/>- 168-page booklet featuring new and reprint articles.<br/>- 68-page comic featuring a reprint of the comic strip from legendary 1970s magazine The House of Hammer.
