Under the direction of trailblazing English filmmaker James Whale, Universal\u2019s 1931 Frankenstein<\/em> left audiences horrified, dazzled and hungry for more. Boris Karloff\u2019s timeless performance as the unfortunate Monster was a true original, claiming a place in the horror pantheon while paving the way for countless tributes. Our original Ultimate Guide to the movie has been one of our all-time greatest sellers, introducing many fans to our range of luxurious movie magazines, but in the years since its launch, our style has evolved, bringing with it a new format and structure.

This Frankenstein<\/em> 1931 movie magazine is sure to take pride of place in your collection.<\/p>\n

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

The festivities are well underway down in the village – little Maria would love it, I wonder where she\u2019s got to? She said she was meeting a friend down by the lake, so maybe her dad will go and pick her up later to bring her to the celebrations. The skies look a little stormy over by the old watchtower though, and Baron Frankenstein\u2019s son has been holed up there for a while. What\u2019s he shouting about? Never mind, best just to find a quiet spot at the back of the lecture theatre and dive into the Frankenstein<\/em> 1931 Ultimate Guide New Edition\u2026<\/p>\n
