Busch Gardens in Pasadena, California is significant to Frankenstein because it is one of the film's actual outdoor filming locations. However, we do not actually see the greenery in the film. It was used for the convalescent scene where Elizabeth cares for Henry as he recovers from injury in his family estate. I found this information from a Frankenstein fan blog called Frankensteinia. The writer of the blog provides information on the scene, the history of the original Busch Gardens, and even a look in the behind-the-scenes of shooting at this location for the film. The source is an example of peer support and mentorship because the blog website allows Frankenstein fans and writers to share information, opinions, ideas, and gathered research on the film. It also allows fans to comment on each other's ideas and build threads. Mapping this location on COVE adds a grassroots layer to the story usually told top-down because the blog source provides a perspective on the Busch Gardens filming location and shows how fans can contribute to the history of Frankenstein.
