#octoberhorrormoviechallenge 51: Frankenstein (1931) Whatever else you can say about this one it's the film that solidified Universal's stake as a major innovator in the horror genre. Karloff's performance is still a trend setter for sympathetic monsters, Colin Clive is the gold standard for mad scientists, and James Whale directs superbly. It's also an interesting one to revisit when you know the history of its run ins with the censors, and knowing a bit about the director's personal life.
