This cinematic Prometheus has generated countless sequels, remakes, rip-offs, and parodies in every media, and this granddaddy of cult movies constantly renews its followers in each generation. Along with an in-depth critical reading of the original 1931 film, this book tracks Frankenstein the monster's heavy cultural tread from Mary Shelley's source novel to today's Internet chat rooms UR - https://doi.org/10.7312/hort16743 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780231850568 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780231850568/original ER -
