Maverick filmmaker Paul Morrissey’s Flesh for Frankenstein reevaluates the horror film, infusing it with satiric wit and sexuality. Morrissey’s tale of the mad Baron Frankenstein and his perverse creative urges was heavily edited upon initial release; Criterion presents the restored director’s cut—fully intact after 25 years—in a widescreen transfer.

Release Notes on Restoration
Flesh for Frankenstein
Flesh for Frankenstein is presented in the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. This new digital transfer was created from a 35mm internegative. The sound was mastered from an optical soundtrack negative. In some theaters Flesh for Frankenstein was presented in Spacevision 3-D; for the practical purposes of home theater viewing, the director has chosen not to utilize the 3-D system.
