Jane Seymour's death

[deleted]

That scene sent me and my brothers running off to bed crying hysterically as kids, and was one of the reasons why horror movies were verboten in our household for many years after. I remember like it happened las summer even thought it had to have been 1975 or so: We had a babysitter one night that it showed on TV and we begged her to let us watch it. She didn't know any better and was herself rather freaked out by certain scenes like the acid bath deal, but especially this one. When my parents came home the three sons were hiding under their covers, utterly mortified by what we had seen & still crying, and boy were the mad that she'd let us watch it. I don't think she ever babysat for us again but god bless her nonetheless, LOL.

I always made a point to see this movie whenever possible in later years & it's still my favorite adaptation of "Frankenstein".

I saw this when I was 10, and I loved it!!! Jane Seymour was soooo beautiful, except for the stitching around her neck which she concealed with an ornate band. Now I'm 46, and have not seen this movie since, but would love to own a copy. It certainly was a memorable piece of work!

Yep, I was 10, too! That scene freaked me out, but somehow I've gone through life thinking it was some other actress, like Lesley-Anne Down, who lost her head.
I've lusted after Jane Seymour since Live and Let Die (also 1973), so I guess my subconscious was sparing me that disturbing image of her demise.

Well it seems alot of us saw this when we were 5, and it terrified me!!!!! I never watched horror movies of any kind until I was in my early 20's!!

Unusual for a movie filmed in 1973, during the fabrication process of the female frankenstein, her as-of-yet-unreanimated body is shown full-length nude, albeit from the side. I thought this unusual for a tv movie of the time.

I 1st saw this when I was 5, as well...in '73. 2 things scared the snot outta me; the scene where that severed arm was crawling on the floor towards Victor (that should a been clue #1 what he was dealing with) and Seymour's death. I was only mildly grossed out when she started to choke that cat, & it scratched her & she & it hissed @ each other (very creepy) & she held up her hand & licked her own blood off the back of it. But....getting all her stitches busted & losing her head in front of everybody @ that party was very scary for a kid. Even her hissing at the creature that was supposed to be her mate was ultra creepy. The whole movie was creepy. It had just enough reality to be nearly believable.

Looking back on it now, the creature's "decline" just makes him look like a homeless alcoholic. He'd be right @ home living in a fridge box in an alley. Even his clothes during his "reversal" was evident of his declining mental state.

Thank you, God Bless!
