Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks was aired on September 15th, 1984 as an installment of Elvira's Movie Macabre. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, played by Cassandra Peterson, is an enduring horror icon who has maintained relevance for the past 40 years. Elvira's Movie Macabre was a series where Elvira would premier B-movies and cut in from time to time with commentary and jokes. In Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks,  a disabled man is lynched by villagers, and Count Frankenstein's years of research have prepared him to bring the man back to life. The process is difficult, however, and he must avoid detection by the towns people, the police, and his daughter - who is preparing to get married. Unfortunately, this rendition of Frankestein's monster bears no resemblance to the monster described in the 1818 version.
