Universal Monster Frankeinstein

The Universal Monster [here UM is a proper noun, not a generic term] I chose was Frankeinstein [spelling]. In 1931 James Whale directed a American Pre-Code [what does this mean?] horror monster film from Universal Pictures. A few key film starts are: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, and Boris Karloff (as the Monster]. Frankeinstein is a hit w/ both audiences & [avoid using the ampersand in academic writing] critics. The original film was followed by multiple sequels, and it's become an iconic horror film! The plot takes place in a European village Henry Frankeinstein, a young scientist and his assistant Fritz, a hunchback, piece together a human body that they've collected from a various amount of sources [run-on]. Henry aspires to create a human through electricity [here you are using a noun when you need an adjective] devices in which he succeeds. They put the pieced together human on the operating table when a crash of thunder, a few crackling of Henry's electric devices, and the hand of Frankeinstein's monster beings to move, where it causes Henry to shout his later famous line,"It's alive!"

Tati,

You have clearly done some research here. If you did not glean your summary/retell from watching the film you need to cite your source. Additionally, I am curious as to what makes Frankenstein iconic and whether or not you think it might appeal to contemporary audiences? Why or why not? I look forward to your revised post.
