This listing is for the standard edition 3-disc 4k UHD/Blu-ray release. The limited edition slip box was limited to 12,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the packaging.
In the annals of 70s horror, there are many iconic films. There is only one FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN and this edition will allow you to experience it as you never have before and probably never dreamed you could.
This package contains the Flesh For Frankenstein three-disc set, including a 4K UHD (in HDR) edition of the film, and 2-BDs, one containing the NEVER BEFORE ON VIDEO original 3-D version of the film, as well as the Flat version, plus close to 2 hours of newly shot video interviews all housed in a deluxe hardshell case adorned with the classic artwork associated with this iconic film.
Deranged scientist, Baron von Frankenstein, with the help of his bizarre assistant, Otto, is determined to create a new master race, of which he will be the leader. To achieve his objective, he constructs two perfect ‘zombies’ from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Meanwhile, complications ensue as Nicholas, a farm hand, begins an affair with the Baron’s sexually frustrated wife all while searching for his missing friend Sacha, whose head and brain have been used for Frankenstein’s male "zombie"!
A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey (Mixed Blood), FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN is among the most original and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. With an exceptional cast, led by Udo Kier (Suspiria, Mark of the Devil), in what might be his most iconic performance, Joe Dallesandro (Cry Baby), Monique van Vooren (Sugar Cookies), and Italian child star Nicoletta Elmi (Deep Red), and featuring a lush soundtrack by Claudio Gizzi (Blood for Dracula), FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents this true genre classic on 4K UHD for the first time, along with its never on home video original 3-D version, newly restored from its original negative!

Reviews
Flesh For Frankenstein
"Awesome packaging for an awesome movie. Just a beautiful set, especially the “Frankenstein 3D” slip."
— Randall H. (5/5)
The most insane frankenstein movie I own
"This movie is one of the greatest frankenstein movies ever made."
— Jelmer B. (5/5)
"Massively underrated, heart-on-its-sleeve, hard-in-the-paint, less-than-academic 70's hot take generator (no, that is not *any* of White Zombie's vinyl releases, and *yes* I am sure of that)"
— Bo (5/5)
Perfect
"The case texture is very skin like well crafted and very lifelike crystal clear clarity and a great release just hope for blood of Dracula from Paul morrisey and Andy Warhol would compliment perfectly"
— Peter F. (5/5)
Must have
"Love the 3D releases and this is a classic Morrissey flick"
— Landon G. (5/5)
Flesh For Frankenstein
"Amazing package"
— Michael S. (5/5)
Flesh For Frankenstein
"I can't imagine this cult classic will ever get a better special edition. Both versions are included with an incredible slipcover along with 3-D glasses. Paul Morrissey's classic (along with Antonio Margheriti's FX work) have never looked better. Highly recommend!"
— Daniel B. (4/5)
RIP Udo Kier
"Beautiful packing and presentation for this classic 70s campy sleazy take on the Frankenstein tale. Very cool to have both versions including the 3d version with blue/red glasses included. Udo Kier (RIP, legend, watch this in tribute!) and Joe Delassandro are the dream team. One of the best Frankenstein movies. The discs are fairly packed with extras too, well worth your time."
— Ben C. (5/5)
This is how to do 3D
"What a great flick. Incest, gay monsters, and Udo Kier!"
— Jack M. (5/5)
The 3D version is a treat
"I'd had this on my radar and list for quite a while, and finally picked it up in a recent sale when stock on the limited edition was getting low. The new 4K looks great, but the 3D version was fun to watch and I appreciated the old school anaglyph version"
— Nicholas C. (5/5)
