The Frankenstein Complex Disc Extras

  • The Frankenstein Odyssey (HD; 57:23) is a fantastically entertaining behind the scenes look at the making of the main documentary feature. Some parts of this are in French, with English subtitles.
  • Deleted and Alternate Scenes (HD; 17:57)
  • Digital Craftsmanship (HD; 15:38) looks at the post-production process. Again, this French production has a French speaking crew, and so this is largely in French with English subtitles.
  • Photo Gallery (HD; 8:13)
  • Theatrical Trailer (HD; 2:11)
  • The Frankenstein Complex Musical Score (HD; 1:08:55) is basically a soundtrack recording of the documentary's score, which plays to key art.

Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters Disc Extras
  • Feature Commentary with Phil Tippett and Directors Alexandre Poncet and Gilles Penso can be accessed under either the Setup Menu or the Extras Menu.
  • Isolated Score Track is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 and can be accessed under the Setup Menu.
  • Making the Monsters (HD; 1:41:04) is a great supplementary documentary documenting the main documentary (so to speak), and includes a wealth of interviews and background information. Some of this material overlaps at least tangentially with the similar making of piece included with The Frankenstein Complex as a supplement on that disc.
  • Deleted and Alternate Scenes (HD; 12:01)
  • Photo Gallery (HD; 9:44)
  • Theatrical Trailer (HD; 2:15)
