Welcome to Monster Mash, the year is 1931 the sound era is young and horror cycle is going on. Universal were just fresh off Dracula and now they have made Frankenstein [img id=4215877 width=500full] Bela Lugosi was asked to play the role of Frankenstein but it wasn't appealing since he would be covered in Make up and wouldn't have any dialogue that when Boris Karloff came in to play and he would ... read more

1931's Frankenstein Has Been Considered By Many Film Critics As One Of The Greatest Films Of All Time.

View all Frankenstein reviews

Description: An obsessed scientist creates a living being from parts of exhumed corpses. No longer so much a movie as it is a genuine part of popular folklore, the film itself shows its age, particularly in the absence of a musical score. But the performances by Colin Clive and particularly the great Boris Karloff are the whole show here, forgivin ... (more)

Movie Reviews (part 2) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: The fact that the monster is a misunderstood creature makes it like a sad horror movie. Karloff and the makeup is unforgettable. The creation of the Monster. The evil Fritz. The scene with the Monster and the Child. The dramatic climax with the Windmill. It is full of iconic imagery this one. The Downs: Those stupid puny humans with torches, I want to kick their asses."

Fast forward twenty-one years later, & we have the 1931 classic that features the flat-topped heavy-browed stitchhead which has come to define the creatures appearance moreso that what Mary Shelley described in her novel.

" Day 2: One of your earliest encounters with the horror genre I probably saw a few unremarkable horror movies before it, but Frankenstein is the one that had the longest lasting impression on me. I was only 7 years old, it was halloween night, and this was the perfect movie for my young mind. It inspired a life long love of classic monster movies."
