TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN is an unsold 1954 television pilot directed by Curt Siodmak for England's renowned Hammer Studios. In the tale, a woman seeking to bring back her deceased husband gives his brain to the legendary Dr. Frankenstein, who implants the man's brain in the twisted body of a man made up of parts of corpses. When the creature sees his own reflection, he goes on a murderous rampage. (official distributor synopsis)
