The Curse of Frankenstein 1957
I am now older than Peter Cushing was when he made this. He certainly appears to be much more of an adult than perhaps I'll ever be.

Special mention to Valerie Gaunt, who made this and Dracula, then quit acting. What a legacy!!

One of my favourites of Frightfest 2015.

For me the vomit drop destroying Flesh and the maggot baby are those key scenes that I still find a little hard to watch!
Golblum is twitchy and odd. Perfect casting.…
