I have a passion for everything Frankenstein! So here's the place to celebrate the universe of Mary Shelley's creation. Film stills, clips, photos, book covers, mags, illustrations, cartoons, toys,...whatever. I created this thread but I know not what it will become.
Just for curiosity sake, I checked to see how many Frankenstein-related films I've got in my collection.... Frankenstein (1931) Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Son of Frankenstein (1939) Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) House of Frankenstein (1944) Curse of Frankenstein (1957) Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) Evil of Frankenstein (1964) Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) Horror of Frankenstein (1970) Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) Dracula: Prisoner of Frankenstein (1972) Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (1972) Frankenstein (1973) Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell (1973) Frankenstein: The True Story (1973) Flesh For Frankenstein (1973) Young Frankenstein (1974) Frankenstein Unbound (1990) Frankenstein (1994) Frankenstein (2004) Frankenstein's Bloody Nightmare (2006)
I love the Karloff films. And even though it's bizarre and cheap, I also like Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (aka Flesh for Frankenstein) and I hope it eventually receives a legit 3-D blu-ray release.
I saw that when it came out as a double bill with Blood For Dracula. Warhol had very little to do with them apparently.
Yes they were in 3D (at a big cinema on Leicester Square, London). That particilar scene with the sqewered organ coming out of the screen made everyone laugh out loud!
It's Bernie Wrightson's interpretation. Originally published by Marvel, I think, but republished by Dark Horse.
I have the Dark Horse edition. It's a fabulous big format hardback with a lovely silver embossed canvas cover. The work that Wrightson did for the novel is amazing.
There was a pretty good dramatized documentary about the origin of the book and Dracula when Lord Byron hosted the Shelleys, his mistress, and his doctor at a villa in Switzerland in 1816.

Perhaps a stupid question, but at what point does Frankenstein's Monster just become known as "Frankenstein"? I would imagine in most movies it is called Frankenstein's Monster but the general public knows the creature as merely Frankenstein.
