Review of I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957) by Brian C — 02 Dec 2007
A great 1950's low-budget b-horror gem from American International Pictures studios.
This is one of my favorites from the 50's! About a modern descendant of the Frankenstein family who takes up the family business, so to speak, by putting a teenage carwreck victim back together in his basement lab "complete with its own power generator, cold storage and Alligator pit.
The make-up job on the monster is some of the most gruesome of any classic Frankenstein film. A really fun, campy little drive-in era treat.
Trivia: This film inspired the song "Teenage Frankenstein" by shock rock legend Alice Cooper. The song appeared on the soundtrack of "Friday 13th Part 6 - Jason Lives!".
