The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein [La maldición de Frankenstein] ** (1973, Dennis Price, Alberto Dalbés, Howard Vernon, Jesús Franco, Fernando Bilbao) – Classic Movie Review 3154

Dennis Price returns in his final Spanish horror film for director Jesús Franco after Vampyros Lesbos (1971) and Drácula contra Frankenstein (1972), in which he also played Doctor Frankenstein.

Dennis Price and Jesús Franco play Dr Frankenstein and his assistant Morpho, who are killed just as they bring their Creature to life.

Howard Vernon stars as Cagliostro, who takes control of the Monster (Fernando Bilbao) and plans to have him mate to create the perfect master race. Alberto Dalbés also stars as Doctor Seward, with Beatriz Savón as Vera Frankenstein, Anne Libert as Melisa, Britt Nichols as Madame Orloff and Luis Barboo as Caronte.

In delicate health, Price died in 1973, aged 58 on 6 October 1973.
