Summary: The Horroretc Podcast takes another trip through time to yesteryear to revisit what is possibly the most famour horror icon of all time....Frankenstein's monster. From Mary Shelley's landmark 1818 novel through the Universal era of Frankenstein films to present day adaptations, there may be no other image as instantly recognizable in the genre than "the creature". We walk through the classic Universal franchise and attempt to identify what it is about the tale that makes it so beloved and timeless. One of the most well known contemporary adaptations (Branagh's 1994 Robert Deniro version) is also discussed (and criticised) posing the question: will we ever get another big screen Hollywood production or have Frankenstein films become obsolete? In Schlock Corner, we continue our theme with a commentary over the 1910 Edison silent version of Frankenstein. A history lesson of the 12 minute "lost" film is ordered up and we encourage everyone to watch along (link here). Finally, closing out this feature length episode a few comments about listenership and thoughts on the recent Shutter remake. Please send us your comments to: horroretc@gmail.com WWW.HORRORETC.COM
