Spoiler etiquette is required for posts and comments containing spoilers for new media.
Spoilers include the discussion of or the sharing of unofficial content (rumors, leaks, set photos, etc.) from any unreleased or recently-released media under a month old. This applies to all media, not just Frankenstein-related.
Posts containing spoilers should be marked as such, and the title should indicate what it spoils (name of show, movie, etc.) and not contain any spoilers itself (twists, surprises, or endings).
For example, "SPOILERS for 'Frankenstein in 3D': Question about the ending?"
Comments: To use the spoiler tag to hide information in your comments, use the following method:
>!It's alive!<
becomes:
It's alive
If in doubt, assume it's a spoiler.

Which should I get? Is there a difference?
If Frankenstein allowed his experiments to be exposed to the public, would any hospitals offer them as surgeries? How much would they cost? Would some sort of healthcare provider cover it? Asking mainly based on the book.
i'm a little unclear on how much time victor spends removed from his family (& clerval). he describes two years spent at ingolstadt, but does that include the nine months he spends constructing the creature? or is it in addition too? i'm sure the answer is in the text but i'm unfortunantly just not finding it
While not fully accurate to the original novel episode 2 of Creature Commandoes has some entertaining scenes with Victor, the Monster (here named Eric) and the Bride.
Any thoughts from fellow Frankenfans?
Getting put back to my downstairs display, but some of my collection. Centerpiece is from Sideshow Collectables.
I just read Frankenstein for the first time (at 38) and I could tell as soon as the fiend recounted his story that it was ripe for discussion of "who the real monster is". but later on in the book I started to get the feeling that maybe Frankenstein is just a psychopathic murderer and he made up the monster as a cope for himself and a diversion for others. when he goes to make the female companion and then destroys it it's probably because his process never worked in the first place because it was all bullsh*t pseudoscience. and I kept thinking that cliche "no one's seen them in the same room at the same". Only at the very end does Walton see them together in the ship but I'm willing to hold that aside pending other proof of the monster's existence.
in case anyone is interested:) ♥️
Hey, I need to choose a scene (about a page or two long) to adapt into a short one-page comic. I have a few options, and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or any thoughts on them. I’m just having trouble choosing. It’s for an assignment. Would love some input!

This video was a worthwhile watch
In my tales of terror class we read her original 1818 book and It made me wanna draw up my own rendition of Frankenstein. It’s a bit of a mix of hers and the current versions. My insta is @ ISALUMINALUNii

Usually, when I think of Frankenstein, my first thought is horror. I just listened to a Podcast summary of the book, and it was actually kind of sad. Is there any movies that portray it like that? Or do most of them and I just haven't seen any of the movies.

so I’ve been making my notes and apparently when Victor says “Chance - or rather the evil influence, the angel of destruction, which asserted an omnipotent sway over me… led me first to M. Krempe.” there’s an allusion to ‘Paradise Lost” when Frankenstein talks about the Angel of Destruction. Has anyone’s english teachers referenced this or is this just something to ignore, I only ask this because it doesn’t have any reference in the appendix and have no clue if it’s what shelley intended or i’m reaching with this.
