Terror of Frankenstein
A budding alchemist, Victor Frankenstein (Leon Vitali) moves to Ingolstadt, Germany, for medical school and alights upon the idea of bringing a patchwork corpse to life. Genius that he is, Frankenstein pulls it off but does not foresee the terrible consequences. The monster he creates (Per Oscarsson) has murderous impulses and insists that Frankenstein construct a mate for him. The scientist agrees but worries that if his creations were to reproduce, it could mean ruin for all mankind.
