Venture once more into the mournful corridors of the asylum and discover a most unsavoury take on medical science with the signed Ultimate Guide to Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> 1974. Within the pages of this signed luxury magazine guide, featuring contributions from star Madeline Smith and Hollywood screenwriter John Logan, we explore the making of this haunting conclusion to Hammer\u2019s Frankenstein series and reveal the creative processes that led to its development. You\u2019ll discover the movie\u2019s origins, learn about its star-studded cast and gifted crew, and gain a deeper understanding of its place in the wider Hammer story – and of course, as you\u2019d expect from a Classic Monsters Ultimate Guide, a collection of beautifully-restored stills brings the story to life, making this another essential for your collection.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Having both terrified audiences and outraged censors since its launch in 1957, Hammer\u2019s Frankenstein franchise had taken the Baron through numerous misadventures and brought us a bevy of different Creatures. By the early seventies much had changed, and while it was filmed in 1972, this final entry in the series would not hit cinema screens for another two years. However, the signed Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> Ultimate Guide will show you how its impact since then has been enormous. Suffused with a quiet sorrow and starring Peter Cushing in a performance no less powerful for its introspection, this curious and compelling motion picture featured a wealth of strong characterisations, directed with care by Terence Fisher from Anthony Hinds\u2019 twisting screenplay.<\/p>\n

Alongside plentiful thought-provoking commentary, the signed Ultimate Guide to Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> includes a wealth of stills that tell the movie\u2019s story while drawing you into its mesmerising world. This is another hallmark of this unique publication\u2019s quality: taking great care to restore stills, and using high end full-colour print processes, we make every image look its best.

From stars Peter Cushing, Madeline Smith and Shane Briant, through to Dave Prowse\u2019s turn as an altogether different kind of monster and many of the supporting cast members, a range of biographies look at the lives of the players in this most melancholy horror drama. We also shine a light on the lives and careers of those whose work behind the scenes resulted in a beloved entry in the Hammer Horror canon, from director Terence Fisher and screenwriter Anthony Hinds to producer Roy Skeggs, composer James Bernard and many more.<\/p>\n
