I was very excited to receive Gigantic Frankenstein for Christmas when I was a child. I was able to purchase all of the other Aurora monster models with my allowance because my parents were generous and gave me $1 on payday.
I saw that back in the day and liked it but I watched it the other day and it looks 70s old fashioned now (made for TV). Still, the story was an interesting take on the book and like the Bernard Rose version of 2015, it has the creature starting life as a beautiful man, before his gradual degradation. I like Saranzin's portrayal as the creature as an intelligent being (like in the book - not done enough in the movies usually) and the way it finishes in the ice fields (like in the book again).
I still have this issue and a couple of others like #2, which I was too young to get originally but I sent for through the FM back issues page. I probably had thirty issues plus two or three of their paperback "best of" books, but like many of us, I pitched out most of these when I got a little older, probably when the Beatles hit and my obsession switched from all things monster movie related to them.
FFS, over a year and 9 pages and not one mention of this cinematic classic? My brother took me to this when I was 5 or 6 and 10 minutes into the film I started crying and he had to take me home. I could point out all the absurdities but this video says it all: Dark Corners - Frankenstein's Daughter: Review
I just want to chime in that her screams are for me the most affecting screams in all of cinema. Then the way the romantic music brings the possibility of happiness for the Creature, with shots of anticipation from Frankenstein and Pretorious, before the second scream shatters that idea is just the most amazing sequence. Magnificent!
