if you're scared" approach. The story is set in the Criminal Lunatic Asylum where it is believed Frankenstein died after prolonged imprisonment. However, a young devotee of the Baron, Dr. Simon Helder is now similarly committed to the same asylum and finds his idol very much alive. He is allowed to assist Frankenstein with his experiments, ably assisted by a mute inmate, the young, beautiful and highly intelligent Sarah, known and loved by the other inmates. And he uses those inmates to carry on his infamous experiments. Shane Briant plays Dr. Helder and beautiful actress Madeline Smith, who has established her career in numerous films as well as on television, plays the mute nurse. "FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL" is set mainly within the confines of the Asylum. Art Director Scott MacGregor's set designs produce an unnerving atmosphere of stifling claustrophobia and Frankenstein's laboratory has even more blood-curdling and ingenious mechanical apparatus. The Monster, a gigantic seven foot tall, fills the screen. His huge, hairy body and Neolithic-shaped head are the joint effort of Special Effects expert, Les Bowie, and expert horror movie Make-Up artist, Eddie Knight. "FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL" is a Joseph E. Levine presentation for Avco Embassy Release.

The monster is portrayed by David Prowse, who went on to play Darth Vader in Star Wars.
