Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974)

Dymion

IMDb

"Though it wasn't Hammer Studios' final film, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell can be considered its swan song, an intelligent, inventive, stylized reworking of the themes that had sustained the series for almost two decades. Dr. Frankenstein has buried his old identity and reigns over an insane asylum as Dr. Victor (Peter Cushing under a flamboyant blond wig in his sixth and final turn as the mad scientist) as if it were a live-parts yard for his continuing experiments. With the help of an ambitious acolyte he builds his latest creature, a hirsute apelike brute stitched together from the asylum's most promising inhabitants and turned into a sad, tortured slave. The film was shot at the end of Hammer's glory days, and the budgetary constraints can be seen in unconvincing miniatures and the rather bulky and stiff ogre suit, but the dark, claustrophobic sets create an effectively gloomy atmosphere. Director Terence Fisher effectively pulls out all stops for a marvelous sequence of the creature digging through the asylum graveyard in the middle of a flashing electrical storm, a demonic twist on the iconic gravedigging images that go all the way back to the 1931 Frankenstein. This was the last reunion for Cushing and Fisher, who together gave birth to Hammer's gothic reign with The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula. Fisher retired after finishing the film."

Quote:

Unfortunately, both the UK and US versions of FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL suffered from censor cuts. However, the R-rated US print used for this release contains a gorier version of the asylum director's death. As I recall, the BBFC let the notorious 'artery scene' stand, at least in part. I've seen the Dutch version of the film, which appears to be uncut. Presumably, locating an unedited master copy was not possible, for whatever reason.

Enjoy this 'swansong' of Hammer Studios.
The full source not online 24/7, but the rip will stay shared until properly spread. So patience.

All credit to the ripper. @

Dymion, you know you can dump the specs to file automatically right?
Check the FAQ about gspot, saves having to take screenshot and the bandwidth/effort involved.

Ok, I'll do it next time. I just have this 'bad habit' of taking screenshots.. :wacky:

I'll add some screenshots from the rip tomorrow if someone thinks those are needed.

Dymion, is this a new rip or the old one with the Spanish audio removed? The specs look awfully familiar...

Who is the ripper, is this one yours?

Yes, it's much better to post them as text, if only because the screenshots tend to die sooner or later.

Looks really good.

PSing it now. So far I've upped a little over 2GBs, but since my HDD space isn't without limits, I'll burn and remove it really soon. It should be spread rather well by now, however.

And for those that are interested, the subs (English and Spanish) are available on Extratitles.

Thanks, I'll take this, although I don't see how this could be so much better than the spanish rip. Specs are very similar, just the audio seems to be better.

Anyway, comes to my mind Evil of Frankenstein, which is part of the Peter Cushing's Frankenstein series, third episode actually. Never been able to find it. Oddly, all the other 5 episodes are out there.
