DOOMSDAY

Flesh for Frankenstein (aka Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein, 1973) is a gothic, yet gory, film directed by Paul Morrissey. It stars Udo Kier and Arno Arno Juerging, and Dalila Di Lazzaro.

Baron Frankenstein pieces together male and female bodies in order to create his “perfect” army of people. In order to do that, he takes the body parts he needs from local villagers. His plan is foiled when his male monster turns on him and a farm hand gets involved.

Flesh for Frankenstein is a special makeup effects extravaganza (Carlo Rambaldi was responsible for the gore effects; Rambaldi is better known for his work on King Kong (1977) and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (1982)). It has been released on video and DVD several times, but is best experienced through the Image Entertainment DVD. Although it was shot in 3-D, there is no official DVD of Flesh for Frankenstein.
