The Evil of Frankenstein Blu-ray Specs

Horror great Peter Cushing stars in this fantastic tale as the monster's creator, Baron von Frankenstein, determined to bring the creature back to life. Long thought destroyed, Dr. Frankenstein's creation is discovered frozen alive and resurrected in his laboratory. Unfortunately, the creature's mind is dormant and, much to the Baron's horror, he finds that only a hypnotist can order the creature to do his unfathomable bidding now.

This has always been one of my favorite Hammer films, it is just a ton of fun to watch, as you can see from the above trailer. Anytime I can get a 4K transfer of a classic Peter Cushing Hammer film is alright in my book. You can preorder this release now here, and Scream Factory is including print of the new cover art while supplies last if you order from them.
