Note : The good doctor never seems to learn that raising the dead isn't a great idea, and so we get this, the third in Hammer's Frankenstein series, where Peter Cushing's titular Baron faces off with the authorities, the clergy, and a sinister hypnotist. It's not bad, especially the first part, looks quite good, and it has some impressive setpieces, but it's starting to get maybe a tad repetitive by this point, and there's an atrocious optical effect towards the end that made me groan. Anyway, here it is for all your resurrection needs.
Frankenstein is back at his old experiments, but the graverobber he hired is discovered and leads the authorities to Frankenstein's lab, so he has to go on the run with his assistant Hans. Heading back to his home town in disguise, he plans to sell off items from his old castle to fund more of his work. However, the castle has already been plundered, and as the two scientists mingle with a local carnival, they find the burgomaster might be the culprit, befriend a deaf-mute woman, and in a stroke of luck, find the doctor's old creature frozen in ice in a cave. However, enlisting a hypnotist from the carnival to work on the monster's mind has unforeseen consequences.
This Shout! Factory 4k remaster looks quite good, decent but not overly prominent grain, good color and contrast, and about as sharp as a film from the 60s should be. The mono track sounds fine, and the commentary track is also decently interesting.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk franken” for more grab-bag corpses lumbering around, “ hevk gothic” for more castles and doomed aristocrats, or “ hevk 60s” for more from the decade when cleavage shots became increasingly more prominent.
