This striking Japanese B5 pamphlet poster features chilling red-and-black artwork for The Revenge of Frankenstein — the 1958 sequel to Hammer Films’ groundbreaking horror classic. Rendered in bold monochrome, the cover shows a grotesque, stitched creature baring its teeth in agony or rage, with a distressed woman lying beneath its monstrous grasp. The Japanese title, フランケンシュタインの復讐, pops in lurid yellow Gothic type across the black lower border.
Following the massive global success of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), which was Hammer’s first color horror film, this sequel continues the grim saga of Baron Victor Frankenstein, portrayed once again by Peter Cushing. Directed by Terence Fisher, The Revenge of Frankenstein helped solidify Hammer as the master of Gothic cinema — a studio known for reimagining classic monsters with shocking realism and gory color.
Hammer’s Frankenstein series, alongside Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959), launched a new era of British horror. As film scholar Patricia MacCormack notes, The Curse of Frankenstein was the “first really gory horror film, showing blood and guts in colour,” a reputation that Revenge proudly continues.
This original pamphlet captures the raw energy and pulpy visual power of the era — an essential collectible for fans of vintage horror, Hammer Films, or Gothic poster art.
