frankenstein (1931)

Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is a man with a mission to defeat death. To do so he creates a person from body parts he has scavenged from corpses. He creates and animates the monster (Boris Karloff), a creature that struggles to come to terms with its life after death.
Though not much of Mary Shelley's novel makes it into this script, this set the benchmark for all that followed, from the stormy laboratory, the hunchback assistant, and the malformed creature. A true classic.
