	Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus
		One of the first and certainly most enduring Gothic novels of the English literary tradition, its premise allows the reader to hear the story not only from the perspective of the tragic Dr. Frankenstein, but also from that of his listener, Captain Walton -- who has entertained similar fascinations in the natural sciences.
		The book is divided into three sections: Shelley's Preface, four letters from Walton to his sister back in England, and the twenty-four chapters that make up Dr. Frankenstein's story.
		This version follows the text faithfully and includes one chapter per page, except for Chapter 24, which is much longer than the others and whose format lends to its division into three sections.

	Classic-Horror Review of Frankenstein (1931)
		Frankenstein (or, more accurately, Frankenstein's Monster) may have started out as a character in a book, but it was in James Whale's 1931 classic (and very loose) adaptation that he acheived cultural godhood - and it's not hard to see why.
		Most of the players of Universal's early-to-mid 1930s are here: Frye, Edward Van Sloan as Frankenstein's mentor, makeup artist Jack Pierce, special effects whiz John Fulton, writers Garrett Fort and John L. Balderston, and director James Whale.
		As for Elizabeth, Mae Clark is acceptable in the role, but she tends to fall back on her ability to enunciate clearly to get her through the part.

		Yet, within its budget, Frankenstein remained fairly close to the original book with the notable exception that Shelly's monster despite his hideous form is superior to man in every respect including intellectually (and morally?) Shelly's monster is not a lumbering oaf to be pitied, rather an ubermensch to be feared.
		Frankenstein's creation was shot, burned, frozen, electrocuted and blown up a score or more times in America, Mexico and France and still Frankenstein's creation lives on, terrorizing maiming killing again and again.
		In REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN 2 years later, an enraged mob attacked him and beat his body to a bloody pulp, but a loyal assistant transferredhis still living and undamaged brain to the fleshly frame of a man created by Cushing for an experiment he had not yet completed.

		The first two Frankenstein films are nothing short of brilliant (although I still regret that they did not truly recreate the monster of Mary Shelley's imaginative vision), with the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein, actually going one better than the original.
		Frankenstein seemed to be a bigger hit, and they actually had better scripts and actors in the "Sons of" films than the others.
