Chances are Frankenstein needs little introduction. It’s without a doubt one of the most iconic movies ever made, and it’s so pervasive in pop culture, I’m sure you already have a mental picture of Frankenstein in your mind.
But the story of Frankenstein goes beyond green monsters and mad scientists. Mary Shelley’s original story is this romantic, sci-fi, gothic horror piece of literature, and as awesome as that sounds on paper, it’s a story that’s largely forgotten by the general public. Sure, the original novel is very well regarded, but it’s also a novel that hasn’t gotten a “proper” adaptation. There’s been attempts, but in reality, the original Hollywood movie is just too famous.
Having said that, one medium isn’t better than the other. The original 1931 movie and 1818 novel are both classics in their own ways, and both of them show that Frankenstein as a story is simply so timeless, it can succeed no matter what form it comes in.
