Is Frankenstein the scientist or the creature ? Both.
‘The revenge of Frankenstein’ sure is a movie that I am really normal about- All the Frankenstein Hammer movies really jgiohgoirejfoi (so normal I made a uquiz based of them)
Anyway I was in the mood to paint and I’m really proud of how it turned out ! (first time in my life I don’t fuck up Peter Cushing’s face-)
If you want a print, it’s up on my INPRINT ;)
Process below vvv

🎃HALLOWEEN LIST 2023🎃
I watched The Revenge Of Frankenstein (1958)
We're headed back to Britain' Hammer Horror Studio for the second time on this year's list.
Dr. Frankenstein escapes the guillotine and finds himself hiding as a doctor in a new location, only to be discovered by a young scientist looking to continue Frankenstein's research.
Hammer made several Frankenstein films, a lot of which are fantastic and fun. What makes them so great is Peter Cushing's portrayal of Doctor Frankenstein as a man of evil and cruel intention. An obsessed mad scientist of dwindling conscience.
Cushing is fantastic in this role, and I'd say it's his best character and his best work. His looks of disdain and madness trickle through his proper British exterior, revealing a deeper and more complex character than most other versions of the infamous doctor manage with such subtlety.
Director Terence Fisher is behind some of Hammer's greatest films, including their original Dracula and Frankenstein films. His films are definitive of the Hammer genre and classics of horror filmmaking. His style is forever embedded in my mind and he is an incredibly influential director, if you ask me.
This movie is a colorful treat of gruesome activities and spooky atmosphere. Along with a solid script, which stays true to the character of Dr. Frankenstein, It has everything you'd expect from a gothic horror about grave robbers and reanimated corpses. Tesla coils and flickers of candlelight. Eyes and hands displayed in suspended animation. Secret work in late night laboratories, as Frankenstein attempts to put the brain of a crippled man into a fresh body.
It's a gorgeous, engaging and fun gothic movie that reminds us that Hammer was making some of the very best horror of the 1950's.

So, when did they decide that Victor should have an open shirt in this scene???
the end of "The Curse of Frankenstein" 1957 --
to the opening scene of "The Revenge of Frankenstein" 1958 --
Someone literally decided between films --
He needs to look sexy before he 'dies'.

I’m still watching way too much Hammer movies with @quijicroix- so anyway we made another uquiz !
which one of Baron Frankenstein's boyfriends are you ? (link)
Frankenstein is the cuntiest man alive, so sexist he's gay, his main appeal is how divorceable he is <3 And yes I know they're his ""assistants""... but it's way more fun to read them as queer
Hope you’ll enjoy :)
