Frankenstein ('31)
Directed by James Whale
"A monster science created -- but could not destroy!" Considered by many to be the greatest horror film of all time, director James Whale's FRANKENSTEIN tells the terrifying story of a maniacal scientist whose obsession with creating a living being from dead body parts leads to a tragic and shocking end. Adapted from the Gothic novel by Mary Shelley, this is the film that made Boris Karloff a star and ushered in a new era of horror. Selected by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 films of all time.
Boris Karloff is the screen’s most memorable creature in the story of Dr. Frankenstein, who tampers with life and death when he pieces together salvaged body parts to create a human monster.
Cast: Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, Josephine Hutchinson

As they say, “If you know you know.” Will always be my favorite! It’s crazy to think it’s been 90years since this film came out and even now in 2022 it STILL holds up as one of the best horror films. It’s such beautiful and heart-breaking story. I was so excited to see it on Shudder and hope this film continues to endure through the times. Truly a classic❤️
I love Frankenstein's monster
I love Frankenstein
its FRANKENSTEIN, no review needed
There's a reason this has endured for years. Here's hoping that Shudder brings more classics like this onboard.
