Not one Hooptober can be complete without a Hammer Horror movie directed by Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee! This year round I thought it would be nice to rewatch "The Curse of Frankenstein" and I must say, it was a very enjoyable rewatch!

First things first, I'm so happy they don't try to be like the Universal James Whale masterpiece. They did their own thing. Which is very well done. It's also Hammer's first color horror movie and they try to show it. The sets, the colors, it all looks great, especially Frankenstein's lab.

Hammer also brought out the big guns in director Terence Fisher and iconic horror duo Cushing and Lee. I like Cushing as Victor Frankenstein. He really grows into the character over the 6 films. Christopher Lee doesn't have much to do as the Creature but he his presence alone is enough.

Robert Urquhart plays Paul, he is Frankenstein's mentor and basically teaches him everything and tries to reason with him numerous times. But Frankenstein is on a mission! We also have the lovely Hazel Court as Elisabeth, Frankenstein's bride and a lady Paul really likes.

The Curse of Frankenstein is right up there with Hammer's best. If you like horror movies but haven't seen any of the classic Hammer ones, this a great one to start with.
