Dr Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster. What distinguishes the film is less its horror content, which is admittedly low, than the macabre humour and sense of parody. Strong on atmosphere, Gothic sets and expressionist c find out more...

7.16 - 'Storyteller'; Andrew bizarrely turns into the old dude in the armchair who tells magical tales. This is the funniest episode in the series. find out more...

The most perverse Frankenstein flick ever. While the Baron's sister/wife gives the village stud a good going over in her boudoir, the man himself is carving up the locals to create two perfect zombies to spawn a master race. Incest, necrophilia and yards of technicolour entrails. Stomach-churning! find out more...

The classic version of Frankenstein, often imitated but its stunning style has rarely been bettered. For the unfamiliar, Frankenstein tells the story of a maverick doctor's attempts to create life from the body parts of the deceased. His creation (Frankenstein's Monster...) is the tragic embodiment of goodness. More human than those around him, the monster finds himself needing friendship more and more, before embarking on a doomed relationship with a small girl who takes pity on him. Needless t find out more...

The third instalment of the sororal werewolf saga sees the sisters Ginger and Bridgette wandering the woodlands of 19th century Canada. After a close encounter with a steel animal trap and a prophetic native crone, our heroines hole up in a nearby army outpost populated with the usual ragtag group of misogynistic soldiers and barking mad men of God. However, things get a bit hairy (geddit?) when the outpost is attacked by marauding lycanthropes and the girls have to protect themselves from both find out more...

Sumptuous, atmospheric adaptation of the gothic horror story with the emphasis on the tragic romance between the doc and his sister. Superb costumes, with Branagh looking suitably crazed as the misguided surgeon, but De Niro gets the sympathy vote, if only for putting the wind up the luvvies. find out more...

Stephen Sommers gives us something for our eyes to feast on, if lacking some of the charm of his earlier efforts ('The Mummy' franchise, all of which he wrote and directed). The Dracula story has had quite a few outings in the cinema, and this is definitely one of the weaker ones. The eponymous hero is of course the infamous Monster killer, played in earlier (more innocent) days by Peter Cushing who was armed only with a wooden tent peg with which to destroy Christopher Lee. This time around, th find out more...
