Frankenstein Movies: Hammer Films
Hammer's Frankenstein series takes a completely different approach from Universal, focusing on Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein rather than the Monster himself. These films follow the Baron through various experiments and creations, though with looser continuity than Universal's series.
The series includes The Horror of Frankenstein, a 1970 reboot with a new cast that breaks from the established continuity. While not as tightly connected as Universal's films, the Hammer series offers a consistent gothic atmosphere and Cushing's compelling portrayal of the ambitious scientist across multiple decades.
