FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER Frankenstein, American horror film, released in 1931, that was based on a stage adaptation of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. The film's hulking monster, portrayed by Boris Karloff with a flat head and protruding neck bolts, is one of the most recognizable characters in film history. The movie begins with a prologue in which the audience is warned about the horrifying tale to follow. At a castle in the Bavarian mountains, Dr. Henry Frankenstein and his hunchbacked assistant Fritz succeed in piecing together a human body out of parts stolen from various corpses. As they prepare to give it life through the application of electricity, they are joined in the laboratory by Frankenstein's former professor, Dr. Waldman, his fiancee, Elizabeth, and his friend Victor, all of whom plead in vain for Frankenstein to reconsider the experiment. Unbeknownst to Frankenstein, the brain that Fritz has acquired for their creation is an abnormal brain, which ostensibly explains the monster's volatile outbursts once it has finally been brought to life. After killing both Fritz and Waldman in a violent rampage, the creature escapes from the castle. It later befriends a young girl in the nearby countryside but then inadvertently drowns her in a lake. Eventually, a village mob forms and traps the monster in an abandoned windmill, which the mob then sets ablaze, apparently destroying the monster. Apparently but not so in future Frankenstein's monster sequel movies... Click here to get a Free PDF copy of Mary Shelley's book - Frankenstein.
