CHRISTOPHER LEE AS THE
Creature in Hammer Films’
The Curse of Frankenstein (this
page), which gave the classic
story a bloody update—in
color, no less—in 1957. The
film also starred Peter Cushing
(opposite, top) as a particularly
venal Victor Frankenstein,
who is shown meeting his
creation (opposite, below).
Considered the most influential
post–World War II British
horror film, Curse imbued Mary
Shelley’s story with explicit
violence and perverse sexuality.
