Directed by James Whale, Produced and distributed by Universal Pictures
The film that started it all...The merchandising...the spin-offs...the derailment of Mary Shelley's novel!
This movie gave us Frankenstein Monster's iconic look and the "It's Alive" scene that's still referenced and parodied to the present day! People have regarded this film to be the "Westernized/American version" of the Creature in Shelley's work, making the Creature itself more like a mindless monster rather than a being of intelligence. And for some reason, Victor's name has been changed to Henry. Don't know why they changed it but they did.
FUN FACT: The movie was also based on a play by the same name in 1927 by Peggy Webling and John L. Balderston
