The Plot Synopsis is really bad... Suggest rewrite. I would do it myself, but the film is not fresh in my mind. 88.108.115.137 07:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
¶ This recently was shown on TCM channel and the synopsis is generally accurate. I wish I could find a source citation for something I once read: The make-up used for Christopher Lee as the Monster (here identified as "the Creature") went for the cadaverous white, with a patchwork stitching effect on the face and hair, to avoid infringing Universal's copyrighted lantern-jaw and bolt-in-neck features used for Boris Karloff. This first Hammer Frankenstein (1957) ended with the doctor being escorted to the scaffold (guillotine) by two guards and a priest; the following year's sequel, The Revenge of Frankenstein, began with a re-enactment of that scene - with the guards replaced by a wretched looking hunchback who was not in the original - and it later turns out that the hunchback was in the doctor's pay to rescue the doctor by having the priest be guillotined. Sussmanbern ( talk) 18:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
The following extract from the article looks like a dubious bit of personal interpretation:
A clip of The Curse of Frankenstein is used in the Stanley Kubrick film of Lolita (1962). It is shown at a drive-in. Matthew B-G 119.11.8.175 ( talk) 09:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
There is a fantasy game book going by the same title, "The Curse of Frankenstein", J. H. Brennan. He also wrote at least one other Horror Classic game book, "Dracula's Castle". 81.132.20.114 ( talk) 10:15, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
The article refers to the film being restored and that while the “magnified eyeball“ scene will be restored, the “head in the acid bath” is lost; however, while it seems from the reference that the reader should know about them, these scenes are not previously mentioned or explained in the text, so it is unknown what their significance is. Anybody able to say what they are and where they should go in the film? Jock123 ( talk) 13:03, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

The current poster (the one that looks like this) is not the original quad poster form the United Kingdom. The original poster showcasing its UK "X" rating can be seen on this poster ( here) is the original UK poster. I've updated the poster to showcase this. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 06:38, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
I suggest adding an explanatory footnote to Sally Walsh's name in the Cast section to inform readers that she's Hazel Court's daughter. [1] — 99.203.54.122 ( talk) 19:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
