More monstrous than the monsters he created!

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) follows the infamous Baron Frankenstein as he blackmails a young couple into aiding his latest grotesque experiment—transplanting a human brain into a new body. His ruthless pursuit of scientific perfection leads to madness, betrayal, and tragedy. This chilling Hammer horror blends gothic atmosphere, moral corruption, and shocking intensity.
