Just remembered this old board game, largely due to the squeaky Frankenstein toy. You move around a board designed on Frankenstein's Castle. Your player piece has to pick up their colour key and make it to the laboratory. However Frankenstein might wake and capture your player!

The Monster Inside
The Curse of Frankenstein- is a great movie. Hammer films is a excellent studio, cause their brought back the universal monsters and put their own spin on it. And with The Curse of Frankenstein their put their own spin on Frankenstien. And did it work, yes.
The plot: Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) is a brilliant scientist willing to stop at nothing in his quest to reanimate a deceased body. After alienating his longtime friend and partner, Paul Krempe (Robert Urquhart), with his extreme methods, Frankenstein assembles a hideous creature (Christopher Lee) out of dead body parts and succeeds in bringing it to life. But the monster is not as obedient or docile as Frankenstein expected, and it runs amok, resulting in murder and mayhem.
It was Hammer's first colour horror film, and the first of their Frankenstein series.
Professor Patricia MacCormack called it the "first really gory horror film, showing blood and guts in colour".
Peter Cushing, who was then best known for his many high-profile roles in British television, had his first lead part in a movie with this film. Meanwhile, Christopher Lee's casting resulted largely from his height (6' 5"), though Hammer had earlier considered the even taller (6 '7") Bernard Bresslaw for the role.
Unlike the Universal Frankenstein series of the 1930s and 1940s, in which the character of the Monster was the recurring figure while the doctors frequently changed, it is Baron Frankenstein that is the connective character throughout the Hammer series, while the monsters change.
Its a excellent film.
