In 1818 a young aristocrat named Mary Shelley was inspired by a summers night of ghost story readings by a group of friends, to write what may be the greatest horror story in history. Her short story, entitled “Frankenstein”, about a scientist named Victor Frankenstein and his attempts to generate new life from dead tissue has inspired novels, plays, TV series and countless movie adaptations. Her monster, however, was a far different creature than the famous interpretation by Boris Karloff in the 1931 Universal adaptation of Frankenstein that everyone is familiar with. Karloff’s monster was a slow mute who acted out violently from fear and confusion. Shelley’s monster was both intelligent and articulate. His violent behavior stemmed from the internal anguish over how it had been created. This monster was more than capable of confronting his creator intellectually with his pain and suffering. Ultimately the Karloff version was more cinematically impressive than a direct interpretation of Shelly’s monster could have been. Who would have been afraid of an intellectual monster? Shellye’s novel worked as a written horror tale, but as a film it wouldn’t have carried the same impact.
