Frankenstein Italian Style (1975)

Frankenstein all’italiana – Prendimi, straziami, che brucio de passion! (Frankenstein Italian Style – Take Me, Torture Me, as I am Burning with Passion!) has Dr. Frankenstein (Gianrico Tedeschi) getting married to the beautiful Janet (Jenny Tamburi, Smile Before DeathThe Psychic). The problem? His creature (Aldo Maccione) is still walking around and attacks the wedding. He breaks into pieces and the doctor decides to make a new creature who soon falls for Janet. And when he tries to get Igor (Ninetto Davoli) to watch her, his assistant also becomes sexually attracted to her.

This was the eighth and final theatrical movie by Armando Crispino, who made dark movies like Autopsy and The Dead Are Alive, which give no hint to the fact that he was going to do a horror comedy. It was written by Massimo Franciosa and Luisa Montagnana (Spasmo).

Also: The Creature has a giant penis. My people, the Italians, seem fascinated by this thought, as it also appears in the more berserk Frankenstein 80
