Production
The
The film was shown over two nights on ABC's Wide World of Mystery.[2] Part 1 of the film was shown on the same night, and on the same network, as another of Curtis' productions, The Night Strangler.[3] The film was quickly overshadowed by the more lavishly budgeted Frankenstein: The True Story which premiered later that same year.[4][3]
Reception
At the time of its release, the film garnered praise. Variety called the film "extraordinary entertainment."[4] The Los Angeles Times said it was "quite a handsome show, with huge, foreboding sets and a splendid array of special effects."[4] Radu Florescu's In Search of Frankenstein declared it "probably the most faithful rendering the screen has yet seen."[4]
