===Frankenstein=== [[File:Curse of Frankenstein 1957.jpg|thumb|[[Christopher Lee]] as the Creature in ''[[The Curse of Frankenstein]]'' (1957)]] Six sequels to ''[[The Curse of Frankenstein]]'' were released between 1958 and 1974: * ''[[The Revenge of Frankenstein]]'' (1958) * ''[[The Evil of Frankenstein]]'' (1964) * ''[[Frankenstein Created Woman]]'' (1966) * ''[[Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed]]'' (1969) * ''[[The Horror of Frankenstein]]'' (1970) * ''[[Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell]]'' (1974) All starred [[Peter Cushing]] as Baron Frankenstein, except ''The Horror of Frankenstein'' (which was not a sequel, but a tongue-in-cheek remake of ''The Curse of Frankenstein''), in which [[Ralph Bates]] took the title role. ''The Evil of Frankenstein'' stars Cushing but due to an agreement made with Universal to more closely [[pastiche]] their version of the Frankenstein story, it re-tells the Baron's history in flashbacks that bear no resemblance to the two earlier Hammer Frankenstein films and it portrays the Baron with a very different personality, resulting in a film which permanently breaks the chronological continuity of the series. Each subsequent movie in the series contains elements that do not relate to (or flatly contradict) the events of the movie that went before, whilst the characteristics of Cushing's Baron vary wildly from film to film, resulting in a series that does not progress as a self-contained narrative cycle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horror-database.co.uk/reviews/gothic/hammerfrankenstein.html#Evil%20of%20Frankenstein|title=Hammer Horror Frankenstein Series|archive-date=13 February 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090213034607/http://www.horror-database.co.uk/reviews/gothic/hammerfrankenstein.html|access-date=3 November 2013|work=Horror Database}} </ref> [[David Prowse]] was the only actor to star as the creature twice in the Hammer Frankenstein series; he reprised the role from ''The Horror of Frankenstein'' in ''Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell''. Hammer also produced a half-hour pilot titled ''[[Tales of Frankenstein]]'' (1958) that was intended to premiere on American television; it was never picked up, but is now available on DVD. [[Anton Diffring]] took over Cushing's role of Baron Frankenstein.{{sfn|Meikle|1996|pages=59-60}}
