Post by Escapay »

Never mind the breathtaking episodes of Planet Earth or the interactive features for Sleeping Beauty. THIS is the perfect reason for anyone to finally upgrade to Blu-Ray. :P

DVDTimes has the details...

Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a corpse to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the curvaceous Inga (Terri Garr), he creates a monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved.

Wow, a Fox release that actually contains more than the DVD counterpart? Color me shocked. The last four months of this year are going to make me go bankrupt. There are just too many great releases coming out.
