Curiosidades
Film debut of Lina Romay.

Pifias
Vera asks Dr. Seward if her father could have been killed by mountain lions. An odd question to ask, given there are no mountain lions in Europe.

Citas
Melisa: Melisa speaks to you on behalf of her great master Cagliostro. Cagliostro created me and half of me is a bird. He meant for me to be his own daughter, but I am blind and therefore unworthy. Cagliostro now transmits the words he wishes you to hear through the fabulous creature that I am. Listen to the master speak these words to you: "I have accorded you the privilege of rising from your graves. But I cannot prevent your flesh from rotting. Originally, I started creating with nature's materials, but I was mistaken. I brought corpses back to life, only their bodies kept on rotting. To create the creature through whom I talk, I contrived to impregnate an egg with human semen. It was the beginning of my research. Now I use only living ingredients. Different elements of various women served to engender this composite woman and through her a new master race will arise. You are now going to witness the melding of this creature with the monster of Frankenstein. The monster has entered the crypt. He will perform Cagliostro's commands. Witness the miracle, the holy covenant between these two: the creature of Cagliostro and... the monster of Frankenstein. Cagliostro's magnetic power steals into their bodies. It is taking hold. Now they are about to procreate. Their procreation is perfection. They are fabulous creatures. They are divinities. Their most marvelous bodies will mate and remain united."
Cagliostro: The time has arrived. The monster will begin his work. Enjoy it, Melisa. I want you to enjoy it most particularly.

Versiones alternativas
Two (if not more) versions of this film exist La Maldicion de Frankenstein and The Curse of Frankenstein. The main difference between the two is that Curse is the 'hot' version containing male and female full frontal nudity, Maldicion is the 'cool' version with the same scenes but with the actors clothed. Maldicion is the version released in Spain in the General Franco era hence the lack of nudity although several topless scenes briefly remain. There are however many other differences between Maldicion and Curse, neither can be called definite since both contain footage the other doesn't. Both contain different beginning and end credits, Maldicion has nominal black and white titles, Curse opens it's credits to footage in Frankenstein's lab not found in Maldicion and ends with the credits set against a blue painting of the sea with more lyrical credits 'Robert De Nesle has presented'. Maldicion adds another character Esmeralda the Gypsy (played by Lina Romay) completely alien to Curse who appears throughout the film in a trance under the influence of Cagliostro, while impressive scenes of Cagliostro's zombies dressed in white robes walking though a misty forest can't be found in Curse. However Maldicion is lacking several scenes important to the narrative that curse can boast, noticeably Cagliostro and Melissa the bird women's first meeting in the film.

Truly awful waste of time

MORD 39 RATING: 0 (of ****)

I have no objections to low-budgeted horror films of the foreign nature...but when they're boring beyond endurance, it's mind-numbing.

Jess Franco is one of the worst directors in the horror genre (I'll give him respect by not saying "of all time"), but this piece of garbage makes his COUNT DRACULA (1970) look like a masterpiece. I can't critique this film very well, as I literally had no idea what I was looking at. The monster is painted silver, someone gets whipped, and that's all I am sure of. Dull, dull, dull.

A sort of companion piece to this dreck was DRACULA, PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN. While it too was poor, it was far less plodding than this one. As of this writing, EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN is not easy to find...and that's the best thing to be said about it.
