Interesting facts

Frankenstein '80 is a 1972 Italian film directed by Mario Mancini.

Production

Despite the film's title alluding to Mary Shelley's character, the film has little in common with her creation. The inspiration of Ferdinando De Leone and Mario Mancini's script was from the adult only comics such as Oltretomba. Future Academy Awards winner Carlo Rambaldi provided the special effects in the film such as the monster named Mosaic.

Lou Castel was originally going to act in the film but was not allowed after being expelled from Italy in April 1972 due to his political views.

Actor Gordon Mitchell stated that parts of the film were possibly shot in Bavaria, but not any of the scenes he was involved in. The rest of the film was shot in Munich and Rome.
