...creator, the Tom-Thumb King, Queen, Archbishop and Satan he has cultured from human seed until they can chatter and gesticulate in test-tube prisons in his Mephistophelian laboratory. Pretorius forces the Baron to collaborate on a woman-monster by having the Baron's bride (Valerie Hobson) kidnapped until he consents. There is one scene in which Pretorius and Frankenstein make a heart for their she-demon out of the still warm organ of a young girl murdered by their assistant, and another in which they impregnate her with crackling life from a lightning bolt brought down on gigantic...
