Frankenstein Island

Frankenstein Island is a 1981 American film co-produced, written, directed and edited by Jerry Warren, starring John Carradine and Cameron Mitchell. It was the last movie made by Jerry Warren and the only one of his low budget films that he produced in color. The film was basically a remake of his own 1960 film Teenage Zombies, with a connection to the Frankenstein legend added. Warren even created the film's musical score. Warren included a number of actors in the cast who had appeared in his earlier films, including Robert Clarke, Katherine Victor and Steve Brodie. The film is about a group of balloonists who are stranded on an island where they are captured by Dr. Frankenstein's female descendant, Sheila Frankenstein, who has been kidnapping shipwrecked sailors for years and turning them into zombies. When she learns one of the captives is a doctor, she tries to persuade him to aid her in her mad experiments.
