As part of Scala Beyond<\/A>, Electric Sheep and Strange Attractor<\/A> present Jess Franco’s The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein<\/I> (La Maldici&#243n de Frankenstein<\/I>, 1972) + guest Stephen Thrower.<\/B><\/p>\n

Bizarre even by the exotic standards of Spanish exploitation maestro Jess Franco, The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein<\/I> is a lurid high point in his monumental filmography. Attempting to summarise the plot will only scramble your mind, but this rich, wild, cross-genre cocktail features a tortured, silver Frankenstein’s monster, the mesmeric Count Cagliostro and his screeching feather-covered birdwoman lover, hordes of undead sadomasochistic zombies, mind control, torture dungeons, beautiful women, beefcake men, gorgeous locations, and a storming soundtrack of free jazz, library music and synth-burble. Bring a spare brain in case yours burns out after this one.<\/p>\n

We’re also thrilled to have Stephen Thrower in the house – the author of Beyond Terror, Eyeball<\/I> and Nightmare USA<\/I> will talk to Virginie Sélavy and Mark Pilkington about Jess Franco’s life and films as a taster for his new book on the filmmaker, forthcoming from FAB Press. <\/p>\n

Scala Beyond is a 6-week nationwide film season dedicated to all forms of cinema exhibition that will run from 8 August to 29 September 2012. Check their Scala Beyond website<\/A> for the full programme and Facebook<\/A> and Twitter<\/A> for updates.<\/p>\n
