The Revenge of Frankenstein is a 1958 Technicolor British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing, Francis Matthews, Michael Gwynn, Oscar Quitak, Eunice Gayson and Michael Ripper. Made by Hammer Film Productions, the film was a sequel to The Curse of Frankenstein, the studio's 1957 adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, and the second instalment in their Frankenstein series.
The film was released in the US in June on a double-bill with Curse of the Demon. Phil Leakey did makeup, Bernard Robinson was the production designer and Robert Lynn and Tom Walls were assistant directors. The film was originally planned to be called Blood of Frankenstein. While this film was being made, Hammer was simultaneously producing a pilot for their planned American TV series Tales Of Frankenstein in Hollywood, which starred Anton Diffring.
