there have been innumerable movies based on the premise of frankenstein, or the modern prometheus (1818) by mary shelley or on the play frankenstein (1927) by peggy webling, itself based on shelley' s original. these movies are of varying interest, as indicated by the discussion below. some, like frankenstein' s great - aunt tillie (1983 mexico / usa), have been omitted either deliberately or through ignorance; the pool of frankenstein movies is virtually bottomless .

there’s not a great deal positive to say about this final product: it’s universally thought to be one of the worst offerings of ’84, a horror spoof about transylvania town leaders trying to repossess the frankenstein castle, just as the eponymous family happens to come back to reanimate the monster. despite an impressive cast of formerly impressive talents such as donald pleasance, yvonne furneaux, aldo ray, and zsa zsa gabor, the aging talents could not save this one. zsa zsa’s role was edited down to a few seconds of a flashback scene. for furneaux, it had been a long time since her great performance in the mummy (1959) and it shows .

tillie was filmed in mexico, at the same mexico city studio as other, better, films of 1984 such as dune and conan the destroyer. the production company was s. a. filmier, a mexican firm that specialized for its three - film run in the 1980s in getting american movies made in mexico. they were responsible, in addition to tillie for quell and co. (not to be confused with the trendy little company, whom i endorse, selling easy - on - the - eyes ways to keep your devices de - cluttered) in 1982, an underrated, but by that point anachronistic, western, and drug runners in 1988, which seems to be to the miami vice - style narco - cop genre that is what tillie is to, say, serious art films, which i simply must blog about soon :

the last of hammer' s frankenstein outings sees young dr helder arrested for trying to repeat the baron' s experiments and sent to the lunatic asylum where frankenstein was committed years ago. although officially dead, frankenstein has become the asylum' s physician, and is also – aided by the beautiful sarah (nicknamed the angel), mute since her father, the asylum' s director, years ago tried to rape her – building a new creature from deceased inmates. discovering that frankenstein' s hands are wounded so that he can no longer perform surgery himself, helder pitches in. the resultant monster in due course goes berserk and is ripped to gobbets by the other inmates. cushing seems bored.

brandt and frankenstein have corresponded about their researches into brain transplantation. frankenstein takes lodgings at the boarding - house run by spengler. soon he discovers both that spengler' s fiancé holst is dealing in drugs and that brandt is in the local madhouse, one of his doctors being holst. frankenstein blackmails holst and spengler into helping him abduct brandt, murder the madhouse' s surgeon richter, and transfer brandt' s brain (rendered newly sane by use of a bradawl) into richter' s body. richter / brandt awakes after the operation, is almost murdered by spengler, who is wilfully murdered by frankenstein. richter / brandt destroys frankenstein (but only until 20), after the baron has been grievously battered by a vengeful holst .

medical professor lippzigger leaves his effects, including frankenstein' s logbook and frozen monster, to star student mark. mark and buddy jay reanimate the monster, frank. the rest of the movie concentrates on their efforts, helped by their girlfriends, to conceal frank' s identity in the face of ambitious professor loman' s eagerness, aided by moronic muller, to steal the fruits of lippzigger' s research. after a poor start, this becomes enjoyable.

mary' s and percy bysshe shelley' s manuscripts for the first three - volume edition in 1818 (written 1816–1817), as well as mary shelley' s fair copy for her publisher, are now housed in the bodleian library in oxford. the bodleian acquired the papers in 2004, and they belong now to the abinger collection. [ 21 ] on 1 october 2008, the bodleian published a new edition of frankenstein which contains comparisons of mary shelley' s original text with percy shelley' s additions and interventions alongside. the new edition is edited by charles e. robinson: the original frankenstein (isbn 978 - 1851243969).

at the end of victor' s narrative, captain walton resumes the telling of the story. a few days after the creature vanishes, the ship becomes entombed in ice and walton' s crew insists on returning south once they are freed. in spite of a passionate speech from frankenstein, encouraging the crew to push further north, walton realises that he must relent to his men' s demands and agrees to head for home. frankenstein dies shortly thereafter .

there are numerous novels retelling or continuing the story of frankenstein and his monster .
though eager to forget his family history, young frankenstein travels to transylvania on inheriting grandfather victor' s estate. discovering his grandfather' s laboratory and equipment, he succumbs to the family obsession and constructs a monster. after a merry melange of parodied clichés, he saves the monster from the mob by transferring part of his own genius into it. the monster marries frankenstein' s frightful fiancée elizabeth (who comes more and more to resemble elsa lanchester' s portrayal of the bride in 2), while frankenstein finds joy with lovely assistant inga. the various set - pieces – notably the scenes with the little girl and the blind man – represent highpoints of movie parody. the parody of 3' s krogh (here called kemp) is blissfully cruel. [ jg ]
walton discovers the creature on his ship, mourning over frankenstein' s body. walton hears the creature' s misguided reasons for his vengeance and expressions of remorse. frankenstein' s death has not brought him peace. rather, his crimes have increased his misery and alienation, and his words are almost exactly identical to victor' s own in describing himself. he vows to kill himself on his own funeral pyre so that no others will ever know of his existence. walton watches as he drifts away on an ice raft that is soon lost in darkness, never to be seen again .
a painstakingly careful recreation of shelley' s original. although beautifully made, this tends to plod because of its fidelity – in particular, the original' s concern with the miseries of the creature. [ jg ]
mary shelley maintained that she derived the name frankenstein from a dream - vision. despite her public claims of originality, however, a number of other sources have been suggested as shelley' s actual inspiration. literally, in german, the name frankenstein means
stone of the franks
. the name is associated with various places in germany, such as castle frankenstein (burg frankenstein) in darmstadt, hesse, or castle frankenstein in frankenstein, palatinate. there is also a castle called frankenstein in bad salzungen, thuringia, and a municipality called frankenstein in saxony. until 1945, ząbkowice śląskie, now a city in silesia, poland, was known as frankenstein in schlesien, which was the location of the 1606 gravediggers affair—yet another suggested inspiration for the writer. finally, the name is carried by the noble house of franckenstein from franconia .

a possible interpretation of the name victor derives from paradise lost by john milton, a great influence on shelley (a quotation from paradise lost is on the opening page of frankenstein and shelley even allows the monster himself to read it). [ 35 ] [ 36 ] milton frequently refers to god as
the victor
in paradise lost, and shelley sees victor as playing god by creating life. in addition to this, shelley' s portrayal of the monster owes much to the character of satan in paradise lost; indeed, the monster says, after reading the epic poem, that he empathises with satan' s role in the story .

ygor and the monster have survived being killed in 3. the pair reach the village of vasaria and the clinic of a fresh frankenstein – ludwig, wolf' s younger brother – and his surgical colleagues kettering and bohmer. young kettering is killed by the monster. ludwig seizes on the notion that transferring kettering' s brain into the monster will render it a force for good rather than evil. the monster would prefer the brain of cloestine, a village girl, and ygor bribes bohmer to substitute his – i. e. , ygor' s – brain in place of kettering' s. ygor' s plan succeeds, but his implanted brain is rejected by the monster' s tissues, and most of the main cast perish in his final, maddened fury .

radu florescu argues that mary and percy shelley visited castle frankenstein, near darmstadt, in 1814 during their return to england from their elopement to switzerland. it was at this castle that a notorious alchemist, konrad dippel, experimented with human bodies, and florescu reasons that mary suppressed mention of her visit in order to maintain her public claim of originality. [ 32 ] a literary essay by a. j. day supports florescu' s position that mary shelley knew of and visited castle frankenstein before writing her debut novel.

despite the reviews, frankenstein achieved an almost immediate popular success. it became widely known especially through melodramatic theatrical adaptations—mary shelley saw a production of presumption; or the fate of frankenstein, a play by richard brinsley peake, in 1823. a french translation appeared as early as 1821 (frankenstein: ou le prométhée moderne, translated by jules saladin) .

since a complete list of films based directly or indirectly on frankenstein would run into the thousands, it' s convenient to exclude films with only a tangential relationship to the original novel: those, for instance, with only a mad scientist, a raising - from - the - dead theme, or a creature cameo. this chronological list includes most of the major feature films between 1910 and 2005 based on shelley' s novel .

although a mess, and enfeebled by sting' s woodenness, tb has some merits beyond its visual opulence, notably the identification of eva not only with mary shelley but also, less obviously, with the monster – in that, to the intellectually emasculated frankenstein, she becomes another monster of his own creation. tb' s most effective sequences, aside from its spectacular opening, come in the long (but irrelevant) subplot involving rinaldo and victor.

behind the camera there were some pretty interesting dramas going on, as june wilkinson (playing “randy”) remembers it: pleasance didn’t like gabor, though he was too polite to call her out on whatever was bothering him; and director myron gold had conflicts with furneaux, who apparently was able able to manipulate the set so that the last scene was shot as she wanted, rather than what gold envisioned. (the final scene was supposed to be done in the rain) also, wilkinson remembers that aldo ray was in between some of his famous struggles with alcohol, and had been offered a role in one of 1984’s great films, dune, but that he was dropped from dune when he fell off the wagon .

a reasonably faithful adaptation, told appropriately in flashback from the arctic, where the monster and frankenstein have their final confrontation. one significant change from convention is that, rather than build the monster from fragments of corpses, frankenstein
grows
him in a nutrient soup – in effect cloning his creation from himself, and thereafter being always empathically linked with him (there is a jekyll and hyde subtext). this is a classy production enhanced by some good performances, notably quaid' s. [ jg ]

parts of the movie grate, but it is full of poignant and abiding images: henry' s boyish exhilaration as the monster' s hand twitches into life, the charm of shared innocence as the monster and maria play together with flowers, the advancing tide of torches as the mob ascend a nighttime hillside – all have become icons, as has the sorrowing visage of the shambling, much - wronged creature.

f: tts is largely black comedy (> humour), with mccallum especially revealing a brilliant comedic streak. there is intriguing ambiguity as to the identity of the creature: is he victor' s alter ego, his physique decaying like the picture of dorian gray while his creator' s moral integrity does likewise; or is he a manifestation of clerval? this reworking is thoughtful, handsome and often, amid the humour or horror, moving.

frankenstein has been both well received and disregarded since its anonymous publication in 1818. critical reviews of that time demonstrate these two views. the belle assemblee described the novel as
very bold fiction
( 139). the quarterly review stated that
the author has the power of both conception and language
( 185). sir walter scott, writing in blackwood' s edinburgh magazine congratulated
the author' s original genius and happy power of expression
( 620), although he is less convinced about the way in which the monster gains knowledge about the world and language. [ 47 ] the edinburgh magazine and literary miscellany hoped to see
more productions from this author
