Frankenstein Friday

Halloween is still a few days off, but this iconic horror story deserves its own holiday. Here are a few chilling facts to spook your friends with!

1. Mary Shelley was only 18 when she started writing this gothic tale of reanimation, terror, and murder.

2. Technically, “Frankenstein” is the doctor whose experiment goes so terribly wrong. His creation who runs amok is referred to only as “the Creature” in the novel.

3. Whatever you call him, this mad monster has appeared in more than 70 movies and cartoons. Boris Karloff played the most famous version in 1931’s “Frankenstein,” creating the bolt-necked, square-headed vision of horror that thrills and chills us to this day.
