Frankenstein (1931) September 29, 2007

The most famous horror film of all time. When brilliant but deranged Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) attempts to create life out of the organs of dead bodies, a grotesque, pitiful monster (Boris Karloff) is born. Screenwriter Robert Florey devised the now-famous plot twist in which the monster is accidentally given a madman's brain adding additional terror to Mary Shelley's original dark and foreboding tale. This documentary traces the forty year history of this museum devoted to the "Hollywood Horrors," but is truly a history of the classic horror films. Told directly through the makeup artists, the actors, or their families, in never-before-seen interviews. This colorful "Witches Brew" of visual delights features over 500 rare behind-the-scenes photos and colorful posters, newly restored, plus all the elements that made going to the movies an event! A two hour kaleidoscope of vintage chills!
