Hammer Films, the home of legendary British horror, has announced a world-first vinyl release of selections from the original musical soundtrack from James Bernard’s The Curse of Frankenstein. With music extracted directly from the 1957 film and newly remastered as a Limited Collector’s Edition, this brand-new double EP marks the first in a new series of remastered soundtracks from the iconic studio.
For more than 90 years, Hammer has been at the forefront of British Horror, and their composers are just as iconic as the films themselves. James Bernard is intrinsically linked to Hammer and, as well as The Curse of Frankenstein, has scored a whole host of their legendary titles, including The Quatermass Xperiment, Dracula and many more.
Created during Hammer’s 2025 4K restoration of The Curse of Frankenstein, this new release presents approximately 13 minutes of original music salvaged from the film’s music and effects track. With the original session recordings long lost, this EP represents the only surviving source of Bernard’s authentic Frankenstein score, now curated and restored with the same meticulous care as Hammer’s 4K film restoration programme.
Launching a new Hammer soundtrack range built on authenticity and restoration, The Curse of Frankenstein Limited Collector’s Edition Vinyl Double EP is the inaugural release of a ground-breaking new soundtrack range, shaped by the successful recovery of music from Hammer’s legendary filmography. A range-defining first release, The Curse of Frankenstein established Hammer’s signature gothic style that changed the face of horror filmmaking forever.
With The Curse of Frankenstein Limited Collector’s Edition Vinyl Double EP, fans can now experience the first-ever vinyl release of the original music soundtrack from The Curse of Frankenstein anywhere in the world.
The Curse of Frankenstein Limited Collector’s Edition is available to pre-order now directly from the Hammer Films webstore.
