Story Synopsis:
Flesh For Frankenstein is Paul Morrissey’s gory satire about the perverse Baron Frankenstein (Udo Kier) who is painstakingly creating a male zombie to mate with his completed female (Delila Di Lazzaro). He plans to transplant the head of a lecherous peasant (Joe Dallesandro) onto the neck of the zombie, but instead, takes the head of a would-be monk (Srdjan Zelenovic). The peasant and the baroness (Monique Van Vooren) engage in a passionate affair, while the baron is having trouble mating the two zombies. This is a film for fans of gore with nudity and sexually explicit scenes, and in that regard is similar in character to the companion Blood For Dracula, which features many of the same cast.
LaserDisc Picture:
While photographed and presented theatrically in anamorphic 3-D, which was an element of the film’s allure, this 2.38:1 transfer is not. The picture is sharp and detailed but also problematic with unnatural colors and slight noise and artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is hissing monaural.
