Hammer's third Frankenstein offering The Evil of Frankenstein (1964). Kiwi Kingston, played the creature and takes prominent position on the British film poster which provides an outstanding piece of horror artwork. As evidenced here the artistic quality of the Hammer posters used to advertise the films were of an extremely high standard setting a high benchmark for the time and the genre. Now distributed by Universal Studios, Hammer had free rein to copy elements from the Universal franchise, most noticeably the Creature's make-up and the laboratory sets first used in the 1930s.
