The third installment of Hammer Horror Productions' Frankenstein series, Evil of Frankenstein sees the titular doctor (Peter Cushing) and his student Hans travel to the town of Karlstadt, a place the doctor has been to before until the townspeople banished him from the district for his previous attempt at creating a monster, which is believed killed. The two reach Frankenstein's old home, hoping to sell some of his property to make more money to delve into their research but tragically find the chateau both vandalised and ransacked.Left without an option, the two travel to town, utilising the carnival taking place there to hide their presence. There, Frankenstein sees the burgomeister and the chief of police celebrating the day and, to his great resentment, also sees that the burgomeister is one of the thieves that stole his property when he recognises the Frankenstein signatory ring on the man's finger. His outrage leads him and Hans to be recognised and they flee, encountering a master magician and hypnotist Zoltan along the way. The two run into a young woman they had inadvertently helped earlier and she leads them into a cave where they find the monster frozen in a block of ice. Frankenstein endeavours to revive him but once again faces another complication to his plans when he discovers that the monster's senses have been dulled by both the damage and its time encased in ice, and he enlists Zoltan to help.Then things take another turn for the worse when the process has the monster answer only to Zoltan, and the egocentric magician proves to be an ambitious, greedy opponent.Followed by Frankenstein Created Woman in 1967. | |

Gone Horribly Right: Frankenstein's plan to use Zoltan's hypnotism to bring the monster back to full mental consciousness works, but there's one problem. It answers only to Zoltan now. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: When Zoltan sends the monster to punish the burgomeister and the chief of police, he did not take the time to tell it how to punish them. Therefore, he is visibly horrified when it comes back after killing them. Even more befitting of this trope, the policeman the monster killed wasn't even the chief. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Evil of Frankenstein / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: After Curse was distributed by Warner Brothers and Revenge by Columbia, this one was distributed by Universal. Because of this, Hammer had free licence to borrow elements from the the 1931 classic, which is why the monster resembles the Karloff version so much and why the method Frankenstein uses to give it life differs from a mixture of chemicals to using lightning from a storm. | |

Idiot Ball: Zoltan tells the monster to punish the burgomeister and the chief of police but he never bothers to direct the monster to stop short of killing them. The monster develops a taste for alcohol, drinking straight from the bottle without looking. In the climax, it accidentally poisons itself by drinking chloroform. | |

Karmic Death: Towards the end, Frankenstein figures out what Zoltan has been up to and evicts him from the chateau. Zoltan quickly breaks back in, using the monster and orders it to murder its creator using a broken bar. The two men vie for control of the monster, Frankenstein using its fear of fire against it while Zoltan spitefully demands it kill Frankenstein. The monster itself resolves the conflict by stabbing Zoltan in the chest with the broken bar. | |

Too Dumb to Live: While the reasons for his anger are justifiable, Frankenstein forgets that he is supposed to be in hiding when he accuses the burgomeister of being a thief. This leads him to be recognised by the chief of police, who remembers arresting Frankenstein years ago. | |

Anti-Villain: Frankenstein is less the villain even here than in the first two films. He doesn't kill anyone nor does he direct his monster to commit murder. In fact, some of his scenes even present him as the hero. | |

Continuity Snarl: Perhaps the most infamous one in the series. The flashback events of the movie regarding the monster's creation depict Frankenstein's earlier escapades in Karlstadt to be his origin story, rather than the events that occurred in The Curse of Frankenstein. | |
