Some people hate it, others love to hate it, and still others absolutely adore it – The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> is condemned in some circles but there\u2019s no denying it made an impact at the time of its 1970 release, and it remains a guilty pleasure for many fans to this day. Hammer took quite a gamble in essentially reworking 1957\u2019s evergreen The Curse of Frankenstein under Jimmy Sangster\u2019s direction, but this reboot of the franchise took a completely different approach and played with everyone\u2019s expectations to memorable effect. The signed Ultimate Guide to The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> takes a richly informative look at the circumstances in which the film was first conceived, the disputes and decisions that shaped its creation, and the startlingly incongruous results.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

This signed Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> guide is a rich resource for anyone interested in this most curious of Hammer Horror features. A range of engaging, professionally written articles leads you through the creative and production process, showing how Hammer\u2019s bright new star Ralph Bates made the role of the baron his own alongside glamorous co-stars Kate O\u2019Mara and Veronica Carlson, with Dave Prowse in the first of his two turns as Frankenstein\u2019s unfortunate creation. Sangster\u2019s decision to present the gothic chills of Frankenstein\u2019s misadventures as a blackly comic romp, suffused with the protagonist\u2019s fleshly urges and casual psychopathy, is an arresting part of Hammer\u2019s legacy, and this is the perfect way to enjoy it anew.<\/p>\n

Like the other publications in the Classic Monsters collection, the signed Ultimate Guide to The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> is printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), with a beautiful glossy cover that celebrates the movie\u2019s place in Hammer Horror culture. The inner pages, meanwhile, have an elegant silk finish that makes every page a joy. This signed Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> guide is finished to the highest standard, and our use of full colour print processes is another hallmark of quality. As far away as you can get from cheaper, newspaper-style monochrome printing, which leaves images looking flat and lacklustre, our full-colour printing infuses even black and white images with depth and variation, marking out every detail and memorable moment. Combined with our renowned flair for using the very best, meticulously restored stills, it\u2019s one of the many reasons why this signed guide to The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> is a must for any Hammer Horror fan.<\/p>\n

As you journey through the story of the movie\u2019s creation, you\u2019ll also learn about the many talented cast and crew members who worked hard to tell an all-new yet familiar story. A range of biographies unfolds the stories of their lives and careers, giving you an insight into the real people behind this darkly comedic tale of murder and medical madness. From stars Bates, O\u2019Mara and Carlson to writer-director Sangster, cinematographer Moray Grant and composer Malcolm Williamson, you\u2019ll learn about the contribution each one made to the world of entertainment.<\/p>\n

While the movie\u2019s very existence remains a contentious point in some quarters, the signed Ultimate Guide to The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> is an opportunity to re-evaluate the film and reconsider its place in the Hammer story. The studio\u2019s Frankenstein franchise had presented audiences with one twist after another – isn\u2019t it only right that one of the entries in the series turned everything on its head? The wealth of information in this signed Horror of Frankenstein<\/em> guide shows that if there\u2019s one thing you could never accuse Hammer of being, it\u2019s predictable.<\/p>\n

This shooting trip is getting a little intense, and the old Baron Frankenstein seems to be having some trouble with his shotgun. Perhaps we\u2019d better get back to the castle and find somewhere quiet to sit while it\u2019s all getting a bit, ahem, explosive outside. That big glass tank seems quite sturdy, so we could settle down beside it and read the signed Ultimate Guide to The Horror of Frankenstein<\/em>. I do wish that little girl would calm down though – she won\u2019t stop running around and pulling all those levers. Honestly, she\u2019ll flood the place if she\u2019s not careful\u2026<\/p>\n
