As I continue going through some of the Universal Monster Movies, this classic had to come up…
Frankenstein is a 1931 horror monster film from Universal Pictures directed by James Whale and adapted from the play by Peggy Webling, which in turn is loosely based on the novel of the same name by Mary Shelley.
The film stars Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles and Boris Karloff and features Dwight Frye and Edward van Sloan.
The Webling play was adapted by John L. Balderston and the screenplay written by Francis Edward Faragoh and Garrett Fort with uncredited contributions from Robert Florey and John Russell.
The make-up artist was Jack Pierce. A huge hit with both audiences and critics, the film was followed by multiple sequels and became one of the most iconic horror films in movie history.

I have to agree about the ending of Dracula. They build so much suspense leading to the final confrontation and you just sit there like "Wait… that's it? WTF? Seriously?"
Have you heard that hollywood are rebooting the classic monsters? Starting with that Dracula Untold movie?
Frankenstein is one of my favorites, next to The Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Great job so far on the Universal monster movies! I love them all, but my personal fave is Bride of Frankenstein. Do you have the channel METV? They show a different Universal monster movie every Saturday night.
Another awesome job on the review its sad that even back in the 1930's Universal Studios was still a bunch pricks IMO!
One of the greatest horror icons great review very classic
Excellent video, man! I love this flick. I still think this is the film that truly got me into horror.
Hey man good review and insight. I feel bad for Bela Lugosi for not doing so well after Dracula. I have a review of Frankenstein and I don't know if you would be interested to check it out and see what you think? See ya 🙂
