![]() The Evil of Frankenstein – Baron Frankenstein is back! Once again solo, Cushing handles this 1964 third film in the mad scientist focused Hammer set with gravitas and complexity. ![]() Granted the inconsistencies are iffy, but that windmill of danger, doom, and retribution is classic awesome. This chick spin on Bram Stoker’s plotting is unique, juicy, and dangerous-all these sexy women with secrets, screams, and fangy hysteria! This probably wasn’t the first of the Hammer Dracula series that I saw growing up, but it’s the one that sticks in my mind best- mostly because of a sweet climatic finale. Though the Hammer sets are a little familiar, naturally the scary sound effects, Goth Victorian dressings, lots of candles, and plenty of red velvet work toward a great, old fashioned, classy atmosphere. ![]() Here the once again young, suave, taking names and staking dames Van Helsing puts the cross to Yvonne Monlaur ( Circus of Horrors), Martita Hunt ( Great Expectations, Anastasia) and Andree Melly ( The Belles of St. The Brides of Dracula – Peter Cushing returns- without the titular Big D- for this 1960 Hammer sequel directed by Terence Fisher (also of the precursor Horror of Dracula). ![]()
