        The first part of this italian horror feature is a pretty nodescript Hammer style variation on the Frankenstein legend with star Sarah Bay aptly filling the hot girl in low cut medieval garb role.  But it picks up quite a bit when we meet the monster who immediately rampages and sister frankenstein reveals her sinister plot to  kind of have her cake and eat it too via the mad science.

      DVD came with another feature "tormented" which I just started.  I thought the title was " lady frankenstein tormented " which would have been brilliant.

I watched this one a while back and posted about it with some other movies

I have this one on VHS, with lurid, cheap, tacky box art!!  I should watch it again -- thanks for reminding me --

jack- that's awesome.  easily worth 5 dollars. 

The Burgomaster

I have this in one of Mill Creek's 50 movie packs.  Very entertaining.  I think JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER might be in the same boxed set.  How can you beat that?

I enjoyed this one as well. The big-headed monster is pretty cool. It seems like a lot of weird Frankenstien movies were coming out of Europe around this time (early 70's). Like FRANKENSTIEN's CASTLE of FREAKS (two monster! And a midget! And a Caveman named Ook!) and FRANKENSTIEN  80...in which the Monster beats the crap outta someone with a big ass hambone!

LADY FRANKENSTEIN is still one of my favorite B Movies. When getting into horror films again after ED WOOD came out starring Johnny Depp LADY FRANKENSTEIN was one of the very first VHS's that I picked up after learning about Ed Wood and taking a video production class at the local college. Sara Bay is the star of this strange Italian film. You can find it often in Multi-packs for under $1.

tormented was worth seeing.  any black and white b movie about ghosts is bound to have some cool stuff and this one does.  I don't think it gave Hitchcock much concern and it's about as scary and deep as one of those jesus christ of latter day saints morality commercials they used to have. and they have a "cute kid" which deducts points and the male lead was poorly cast.  all these women are supposed to be in love with him and he looks like a milkman or something.  But some of the cheap camera tricks are hilarious and it's occasionaly legitamately spooky.

You can actually download these and others for free from the Internet Archive site. As long as you don't mind watching them on your computer.

I thought Tormented was a little on the annoying/boring side.

p.s. By the way, Hi Sco....er I mean WolfGang.

I thought TORMENTED was a good little film. Here is the highlight of the film below.
