Quick Answer

What is Dr. Frankenstein on Campus about?

Dr. Frankenstein on Campus is a 1970 Canadian horror film directed by Gilbert W. Taylor about Viktor Frankenstein, who, after being expelled for his experiments, uses electronic brain control to exact revenge on a college campus.

Programmer's Pick

A campus horror flick where psychedelic-era rebellion meets vintage mad science, Dr. Frankenstein on Campus takes brain control into grindhouse territory. Come for the topless protests and karate-fueled revenge, stay for the Canuxploitation weirdness that only a 1970s Canadian indie could provide.
