Today we bring life to the early horror genre with one of the greatest horror movies ever made, Frankenstein. We discuss the iconic look and performance of Boris Karloff as the monster, Dr. Frankenstein's unbound pursuit of playing and being worshipped as a God, and the empathy we feel with this creature brought into and abandoned in one of the coldest corners of the human experience.

Del Toro once said “When I saw the James Whale Frankenstein as a kid, I completely emptied my soul into the creature. I thought, ‘That’s me.’ It was a religious and spiritual moment.” I don't think we can say it any better than the Master. 

Synopsis: Dr Henry Frankenstein is obsessed with assembling a living being from parts of several exhumed corpses.

Starring: Colin Clive, Boris Karloff, Mae Clark, Edward Van Sloan, Dwight Frye

Directed by James Whale
