Allow me to
throw you into the river and drown....well, this is what
happens in the 1931 movie...
In the novel
the monster saves a girl from drowning and then gets shot.
This is his breaking point where he finally snaps and wants
nothing but vengeance on Victor Frankenstein himself.
However, killing just Victor would be too easy. The monster
wants him to suffer.... |
Boris Karloff
to this day is still the utmost representation of the
monster. The bolts in the side of the neck, the flat head
and pretty much all of the Hollywood persona behind him has
stayed true to time. |
