I've been thinking about this. Is Revenge of Frankenstein the first horror film in which the bad guy wins? Frankenstein, an escaped convict and murderer,
is responsible for the death of a graverobber and then amputates healthy body parts off the working classes in his hospital to use for his experiments. In the
end he gets his brain transplanted into another body and gets away with it scot free.
How did this ever get past the Breen office? I thought bad guys weren't supposed to win until the code got ripped up in the late 1960s. What sort of moral message does this send out to our young people?
Tim Lucas claims that Black Sabbath is the first horror film which ends with evil triumphant (at least in the US edit) but surely it is this film??
