Production
editFrankenstein all'italiana – Prendimi, straziami, che brucio de passion! is the eighth and final film directed by Armando Crispino.[5] The film entered development under the title Frankenstein diventa nonno (lit. 'Frankenstein Becomes Grandpa').[5]
It was shot in Bomarzo and at R.P.A. Elios Studios in Rome.[1] Crispino later described the film as "a compromise dictated by necessity, if not a mistake. It's the only one of my films that was born from a script in which I did not take part at all...However I think I can say that the movie was not completely shameful, at least in the first part." [6]
Release
