Prepare yourselves for a spine-tingling chill like no other, as The Horror Of Frankenstein makes its worldwide 4K UHD debuts on 27th April 2026, with a superb 4K restoration.

Released by Hammer in November 1970 with Scars Of Dracula as a double bill in cinemas, StudioCanal pays homage to the legendary British horror film production company by releasing both these worldwide 4K UHD debuts on the same day.

Hammer legend Jimmy Sangster (The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula) made his directorial debut with The Horror Of Frankenstein (based on the groundbreaking Mary Shelley horror novel), a bold experiment in horror comedy that features an outstanding cast, including Hammer film favourites Ralph Bates (Twins of Evil), Kate O'Mara (The Vampire Lovers) and Veronica Carlson (Dracula Has Risen From The Grave), as well as David Prowse (Star Wars) as the Monster, Jon Finch (Frenzy) and Dennis Price (Horror Hospital).

With fantastic performances, lashings of blood and superb production values, The Horror Of Frankenstein looks better than ever.

Synopsis

When the cold, arrogant genius Victor Frankenstein (Ralph Bates) murders his father, he inherits the title of Baron von Frankenstein and the family fortune. He uses his newfound riches to enter medical school, but is forced to return home when he impregnates the Dean's daughter.

Returning to his estate, he sets up his own laboratory and begins a series of experiments involving the revival of the dead. After building a composite body from human parts, his creation (David Prowse) is unleashed upon the world.
