Flesh for Frankenstein was shown in West Germany on 30 November 1973 as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein. It was later shown on 2 April 1974 at Filmex, the Los Angeles International Film Exposition. The film was submitted to Italian censors in January 1974 under the title Carne per Frankenstein, which was initially different from the American edit, containing some less explicit sex scenes and more violent death scenes. That version was initially banned in Italy, but an edited version was resubmitted under the title Il mostro è in tavola, barone...Frankenstein, with changes to dialogue as well as the addition and removal of various scenes, giving it an 89-minute running time for distribution by Gold Film.
