From Little Stack
The Creature is one of the most misunderstood figures in all of horror. Created by a monster, forced into a painful existence. He only wants to live in peace. But that doesn’t mean he won’t fight for what he believes he deserves. Need inspiration for this one? Take a peek at the teaser photos for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein. I can’t help but think Mary Shelley herself would swoon. A sexy doctor, a monstrously sexy Creature. You can’t go wrong with either this Halloween.
Obsessed with the secret of creation, Swiss scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein cobbles together a body he's determined to bring to life. And one fateful night, he does. When the creature opens his eyes, the doctor is repulsed: his vision of perfection is, in fact, a hideous monster. Dr. Frankenstein abandons his creation, but the monster won't be ignored, setting in motion a chain of violence and terror that shadows Victor to his death.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a gripping story about the ethics of creation and the consequences of trauma, is one of the most influential Gothic novels in British literature. It is as relevant today as it is haunting.
