Venture once more into the mournful corridors of the asylum and discover a most unsavoury take on medical science with the Ultimate Guide to Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> 1974. Within the pages of this 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 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

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

This magazine guide to Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> is more than a movie brochure. This is a high quality glossy magazine, designed and written to become a cherished part of your collection with the finest production values and a commitment to excellence throughout. Turning the vibrant, sturdy gloss cover, you\u2019ll discover the inner pages printed on finest quality silk stock paper, all trimmed and finished with care to give you a quality reading experience. The Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> Ultimate Guide is printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), so it\u2019ll be right at home in your collection.<\/p>\n

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

A series of fact-filled articles explore how this enduring and affecting movie came into being, highlighting its place in Hammer\u2019s lengthy and storied timeline and marking this Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em>\u00a0guide out as something very special indeed. Star Madeline Smith, whose performance as mute inmate Sarah provides many of the movie\u2019s most touching moments, offers her own perspective on the movie, reflecting on her experiences during filming. Meanwhile, screenwriter and Hammer devotee John Logan, whose credits include Gladiator<\/em>, Skyfall<\/em> and TV series Penny Dreadful<\/em>, provides a richly entertaining insight into what the movie means to fans and the reasons for its lasting power.<\/p>\n

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

Alongside plentiful thought-provoking commentary, the 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. While cheaper newspaper-style printing can leave images looking lifeless and flat, full-colour processes mean that even black and white stills have the depth and detail they deserve. The result is a Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> guide that looks just as you\u2019d hope it would – crisp, timeless design, packed with stills that capture the essence of the movie.<\/p>\n

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

In addition to the abundance of editorial articles, the Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em> Ultimate Guide also introduces you to the talented cast and crew who put the story on the page in the first place, and then brought it to the screen to such classic effect. 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

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

The inmates are getting rather rowdy – things have been a little strange since the arrival of that new inmate. At least that nice young lady with the medicine basket isn\u2019t going to distract us by talking, so while Dr Victor gets on with whatever experiments he\u2019s up to, let\u2019s find a quiet spot to read the Ultimate Guide to Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell<\/em>. Better stay away from that water cannon though – this is one movie guide you\u2019ll want to take good care of\u2026<\/p>\n
