Frankenstein (Toho) Collection

2 movies · 1965–1966

The Frankenstein (Toho) Collection comprises two films released between 1965 and 1966. The collection centers on the emergence of an indestructible humanoid creature, born from a human heart exposed to radiation following the bombing of Hiroshima. This creature's initial rampage is later challenged by a reptilian monster, culminating in a significant battle. A key element of the narrative involves an experimental lab animal, known as a gargantua, which escapes and becomes suspected of causing widespread deaths. The conflict escalates when a second, malevolent gargantua appears, leading to confrontations across Japan between both monstrous entities. The two films within the collection have a combined runtime of 178 minutes. The collection's total budget and revenue are both recorded as zero. Titles within the collection include Frankenstein vs. the Plant Monster (1965) and Frankenstein's Monster vs. Gaira. These installments depict the escalating conflict between the Frankenstein creature and various monstrous threats, exploring themes of mutation and destruction in a post-war Japanese setting. The collection spans a relatively short period of two years, from 1965 to 1966. The total runtime for the entire collection is 178 minutes across its two films. No further details regarding the production or reception of these films are available.
