On MeTV's Svengoolie show at 8pm ET/PT (7PM CT) Sat August 6, 2022


First color Hammer film, that many say started Hammer Studios’ ascension to the new top horror film production house! Based on the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, directed by Terence Fisher, written by Jimmy Sangster and stars Peter Cushing (Victor Frankenstein), Hazel Court (Elizabeth), Robert Urquhart (Paul Krempe), Christopher Lee (The Creature, in his first horror pairing with Cushing).

There can be up to over 1,000 posts by viewers during the east/central broadcast on Sven's Blog, plus another 700-900 during the west coast broadcast: https://svengoolie.com/blog/hammer-begins-its-horror-dynasty-with-curse-of-frankenstein-tonight

Trends highly on Twitter thanks to viewers live-Tweeting during the show using the hashtag #svengoolie

Preceded by 2 hours of Three Stooges short films, (except that the Chicago station shows a rerun of last week's movie):
