Cool Horror Videos: AITH’s Killer Guide to Horror: Frankenstein’s Monster

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Strap yourself into the nearest gurney, kids, cuz it’s time for another AITH’s KILLER GUIDE TO HORROR! Today we’re focusing on one of the silver screen’s most famous monsters: Frankenstein’s Monster!

The Monster is perhaps the most sympathetic and tragic of all Universal’s Classic Monsters (with The Wolf Man a close second). The creature didn’t ask to be born, nor did he ask to be shunned by his creator, his potential wife and society in general. The only person to take a shine to the guy is blind and potentially crazy. That’s kind of a brutal reality to face, folks.

But damn, if he doesn’t make for a compelling screen presence. Boris Karloff played him most famously, but several of the greats took on the character, including Lon Chaney, Jr. and Bela Lugosi. (Keep in mind we’re only talking about the Universal Pictures here.) Alternatively frightening and despondent, he’s one of the most recognizable figures in horror for a reason.

Check out Nick’s take on Frankenstein’s Monster in the video below; don’t forget to weigh in with your favorite Frankie moments!
