Overview

Surely the most disgusting film to join the diverse ranks of the Frankenstein pantheon, this is the first of two horror projects to trade on the Warhol name (though that's where the legendary artist's participation ends). It is also the more popular of the two, though not as creatively interesting as Andy Warhol's Dracula, which was shot immediately afterward with most of the same cast and crew. Udo Kier (a familiar face to fans of '70s European horror) hams it up as the mad, fascist Baron, whose range of perversions include marrying his own sex-mad sister (shaven-browed Monique Van Vooren) and culminate in the surgical abominations of his basement laboratory. There he labors to realize his Aryan ideal by piecing together the parts of local villagers to create two blonde, blue-eyed zombies, from whom he intends to breed the master race. One of his wife/sister's many lovers, a studly local shepherd (Joe Dallesandro), begins to sense something is amiss when he sees his friend's blond, blue-eyed head atop one of Frankenstein's creations. Everything basically goes downhill from there, climaxing with virtually the entire cast dead and dismembered except for Dallesandro and the Baron's two creepy kids, who have similar plans for him as well. This was released twice to theaters in the excellent Spacevision 3-D process, which effectively thrust into the audience such interesting objects as a spear tipped with the Baron's liver. Originally given an X rating by the MPAA, this supremely sleazy effort was promoted as the work of Warhol Factory filmmaker Paul Morrissey, though many claim the real credit goes to Italian director Antonio Margheriti. It actually enjoyed a far more profitable run during its re-release (again in 3-D) ten years later.
