Flesh for Frankenstein is a film by Paul Morrissey produced back to back with Blood For Dracula, sharing the cast of Udo Kier, Arno Jürging and Joe Dallesandro. The interpretations of these horror classics takes on elements of 70s softcore porn, arthouse style, eurotrash culture and schlock hammer horror. Though Andy Warhol’s name is attached to the releases, this is purely out of financial consideration, with little to no artistic contribution. Filming took place at Cinecittà in Rome with an Italian crew. It was filmed in 3D, which can be evident in certain scenes even in 2D viewings when objects extend towards the viewers perspective. Not only does the film achieve a distinct visual and artistic style, but the embedded social commentary takes a clear jab at squanderous bourgeois privilege.
