LOS ANGELES, September 29, 2021 (Newswire.com) -ย Cinedigm, the leading independent streaming company super-serving enthusiast fan bases, announced today thatย The Film Detectiveย (TFD), the classic media streaming network and film archive that restores and distributes classic films, is releasing a special-edition version of the 1950s cult classicย Frankenstein's Daughterย (1958), starringย John Ashleyย andย Sandra Knight, on Blu-ray and DVD Oct. 26.

Fans of low-budget horror will recognize many familiar faces,ย including John Ashley,ย Harold Lloyd, Jr.,ย and formerย Playboyย Playmate of the Monthย Sally Todd. For directorย Richard E. Cunha,ย Frankenstein's Daughterwas released in the heat of a historic year for low-budget favorites, also having directed such cult classics asย She Demonsย (1958),ย Giant from the Unknownย (1958) andย Missile to the Moonย (1958).

Frankenstein's Daughterย finds Dr. Oliver Frank (Donald Murphy) carrying on the legacy of his late grandfather, the notorious Dr. Frankenstein, by building his own hulking beast with the transplanted brain of a beautiful, young woman. Bringing a fresh twist to Frankenstein films,ย Frankenstein's Daughterย takes place in ''modern'' Los Angeles, where โ€” despite news reports of a female monster menacing the neighborhood โ€” nothing stops the local sun-soaked teenagers from partying poolside.

This special-edition release marks the latest in a series of collaborations betweenย The Film Detectiveย andย The Wade Williams Collection. Restorations ofย Flight to Marsย (1951),ย Giant From the Unknownย (1958) andย The Other Side of Madnessย (1971)ย have also been released recently on special-edition Blu-ray and DVD.
