Cereal At Midnight

Richard E. Cunha's 1958 low-budget creature feature gets a 4K restoration and deluxe Blu-ray treatment thanks to the fine folks at The Film Detective! Hailing from the Golden Age of the drive-in,  Frankenstein's Daughter  serves a ghastly gourmet of cinematic cheese for fans to feast upon.

This is exactly the sort of fun and fanciful mid-century genre picture that Cereal At Midnight was born to appreciate.
