I have always had a theory about the wig in FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL.

F&TMFH was shot in 1972, two years before it was released. It began filming not all that long after Cushing's wife died. Could it be that his hair was beginning to fall out or had thinned to much at this point due to stress that someone felt it better to place a wig on his head? Anyway, that's just a thought...

As for the idea of the Baron being burned from the previous film. That's a good thought. However, as for the burns on his hand, these appear to have been sustained way back in the burning collapse of the building in EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN. Why do I say that? Because Frankenstein refuses to use his hands for much other than writing in the immediate follow-up, FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN. He even makes a direct reference to his inability to be a great surgeon because of them. Then, in FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED (which I just saw on the big screen for the first time must a few weeks ago), he wears gloves at virtually all times, particularly when working on people (and notice that he always has the help of his assistant, who he's blackmailed into helping him because he's in need of such help).

Anyway, those are just a few of my thoughts on the burns and the wig in FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL.

There are also points at which he doesn't wear gloves in FMBD as well. Note, in F&TMFH, it appears to be the underside of his hands that are scarred, not the tops. I still imagine part of this is simply continuity snafu.

By the way, forgive me for dredging up that whole 'hand' conversation again. I just remembered we'd discussed it ages ago; and then, just a few minutes ago, I saw that it got discussed again in October, right around the time I was seeing my favorite Hammer/Fisher film on the big screen.

Beautiful.

I have to hand it to you, Richard, you were always good at puns.

I think someone should make a gay bear porn flick and call it HAIRY AND THE HENDERSONS.
