Frankenstein (1984)

Frankenstein (1984) is a TV movie aired on Yorkshire Television (YTV) on December 27th, 1984. While extremely low budget and mostly unknown, the movie stars Robert Powell, David Warner, and Carrie Fisher as Victor Frankenstein, The Creature, and Elizabeth, respectively. In this interpretation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, scientist Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with creating life. When he finally succeeds at creating life, the creature is a man with severe burns on his face and body. He bears no resemblance to the monster described in the original 1818 text, and it is possible that this rendition of the creature was inspired by the appearance of the monster in The Curse of Frankenstein (1957).
