Summary, Etc. "It's alive! ...Again! Frankenstein Lives is an updated, comprehensive overview of the nameless monster's enduring legacy in horror films and pop culture. This visual guide explores the Monster's rise to fame from its origin in Mary Shelley's 1818 science fiction classic to being a timeless Halloween costume and a movie star in films from the early days of Hollywood to now. Beginning with the story of how Mary Shelley first conceived of the novel on a stormy night on the shores of Lake Geneva, Frankenstein Lives traces the Creature's evolution from a nameless literary monster to an international sensation, appearing in films, television shows, and commercial merchandise. With special attention placed on the 1931 film starring Boris Karloff staggering through the mad scientist's laboratory, this book explores the classic-and often misunderstood-character. Frankenstein Lives is a visually stunning and complete guide to the green monster we can't stop loving"-- Provided by publisher.
