The film was directed by James Whale and starred Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Edward Van Sloan, and Frederick Kerr. Frankenstein will be available for purchase online and in stores beginning on September 17th.
An unforgettable masterpiece, the original Frankenstein released in 1931, stars Karloff as the screen’s most tragic and iconic monster in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Tampering with life and death, Dr. Frankenstein (Clive) pieces together salvaged body parts to bring a human monster to life. The mad scientist’s dreams are shattered by his creation’s violent rage as the monster awakens to a world in which he is unwelcome.
