he Curse of Frankenstein is set to be Hammer’s most ambitious home video release yet. Across six discs, with exclusive content, multiple presentations of the film, and premium packaging, it is a landmark entry in the range in collaboration with The Warner Archive Collection, and an essential addition for every serious collector.
