I'm trying to remember the title of this movie-- I believe it was on a double bill with The Abominable Dr Phibes. The movie was a sequel of sorts in the Frankenstein story: a man was guillotined (wrongly convicted I think) and a descendant of Viktor Frankenstein reanimated the corpse with the usual disastrous results.

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)
IMDb synopsis:
A dead and frozen Baron Frankenstein is re-animated by his colleague Dr. Hertz proving to him that the soul does not leave the body on the instant of death. His lab assistant, young Hans, is found guilty of murdering the local pub owner with whom he had an argument where he foolishly swore to kill the man and Frankenstein acquires his body immediately after the execution. Hans had been quite friendly with the dead man's daughter Christina who returns just in time to see him guillotined. Distraught, she commits suicide and is brought back to life by the good Doctor but with Hans' brain replacing her own. As memories return to her - Hans' memories in fact - she sets out to pursue and kill those responsible for having sent him to his death.

I think that is it! Thank you!

You're welcome!

There's actually a double decapitation in it, opening with the boy's father then the boy as a young man. Generally, Hammer films and others had hangings, which makes it different.

To me, this film doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

I ordered it in Netflix, so I'll find out in a couple of days! I was very young when it came out, my patents saw it at a drive in and I usually skier they the movies in the back seat (cheaper than getting a baby sitter I think) but I watched this because I was fascinated by the guillotine. I asked my mom about it the next morning and she freaked out that I saw it, never got to go to the drive through again :-/

That's a shame! My parents took my sister to so many films at the drive-in. Even when I was only 3-4, Mom said, I would be standing on the backseat, watching the movie intently while my sister was sound asleep. She said I routinely stayed away to watch every film. And, it's astonishing how many of them I remember~even their titles. So, I guess I was a film buff in-training. My dad was great at coaching me on actors, directors, etc.

Being a child of the very early Fifties, I grew up with sci fi and horror, with doses of fantasy films, plus, of course, films that weren't considered as child-friendly. Later on, seeing some of them again, I understood what all of the fuss on the screen was about. That's proof that mature subject matter sails over most little ones' heads. *giggle*

I love solving movie/TV mysteries because I know how a vague memory can nudge at the brain persistently, sort of like Audrey II's "Feed me!" "Answer me! What is it?!" *snicker*

Yep! Both versions are great, but I have to say that I'm partial to the musical. BTW: Have you seen the alternate ending to the movie musical? Wow! They have it on YouTube.

Yeah -- the play was a lot darker but evidently the original end didn't test well :-/
But I liked it better. Maybe I a wee bit warped ;)

The b&w film has a very dark ending, so it's surprising they decided to make it so upbeat, forgiving Seymour's murders. I actually like the invasion, which really is remarkable. I think there's unused footage in which Audrey II does devour Seymour in the musical.

YouTube is filled with goodies=}
