Outside, the denizens of the surrounding village, hearing news of the workings of the Frankenstein brood, have taken up torch and tool and surrounded the grounds. Fearing what is happening within its chambers, the villagers will struggle to destroy the progeny of Frankenstein and bring the very walls of the castle down!
