Playboy's Miss August 1966 isn't actually created by Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), though she is brought back to life and used as a storehouse for the soul of her wrongly executed boyfriend -- who, oddly enough, holds a grudge against the three fops that sent him to the guillotine. Hammer horror not quite at its finest, with an unnecessary link to the Frankenstein character and the blandest sets ever to (dis)grace a "gothic" film. It has its moments, but most of them involve Susan Denberg in a dress with an attractive decolletage. At least the murders are suggestively gruesome.
