Frankenstein Movies |
 | | From the first dramatic version of Frankenstein on the London stage in the 1820's until Hollywood most recent attempts to exploit the myth (46 titles at last count), the general spirit of Mary Shelley's original has significantly changed. |
 | | House of Frankenstein (1944), House of Dracula (1945), and Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein (1948) each have their charms, but those charms are supplied by the Wolf Man (Chaney), Count Dracula (John Carradine and Lugosi), Bud and Lou, and assorted mad scientists and (mostly hunchbacked) assistants. |
 | | Monster Culture was born, and a new burst of Frankenstein energy generated I was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957), Frankenstein 1970 (1958; with Karloff as a then-future descendant of Victor Frankenstein) and Frankenstein’s Daughter (1958). |
