A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey (Blood For Dracula), Flesh For Frankenstein is among the most unique and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel. Baron von Frankenstein, with the help of his bizarre assistant Otto, is determined to create a new master race. To achieve this, he constructs two perfect “zombies” from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Upon its release, Flesh For Frankenstein became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. The film is now newly restored from its original negative.
