hii could you recommend your favourite iterations of Frankenstein across different forms of media (film/television/literature)? I just finished reading the book and I love it so much:)
I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS i'm gonna split everything into separate categories because i've consumed a lot of frankenstein media across many artistic mediums lol and keep in mind these are just my personal faves!! other folks are definitely gonna have different picks~
Movies
Frankenstein (2025)
Bride of Frankenstein
Poor Things
Gothic (1986)
Young Frankenstein
The Spirit of the Beehive
Lisa Frankenstein
The Curse of Frankenstein
Books/Comics
Our Hideous Progeny
Eynhallow
Frankenstein's Monster (by J.S. Barnes)
Frankenstein's Monster (by Susan Heyboer O'Keefe)
The Trembling Hand (this one is more about the general romantic period of art/literature from a black perspective but the chapter on Mary Shelley is very fascinating and eye opening)
Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein (this includes "Frankenstein: Alive, Alive")
Mike Mignola's Frankenstein
Junji Ito's Frankenstein
Dean Koontz's Frankenstein
TV Shows
Penny Dreadful
The Hallmark Miniseries (this one comes with some caveats because it is unfortunately a slog to get through but just watch the Creature scenes)
Other media
The Joffrey Ballet
The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature (watch the GDT film first then play this video game if you want a genuinely heart-wrenching experience that will make you wanna throw up)
Honourable mention for that one Frankenstein Creature playable character from Deadlock you will never catch me playing a MOBA game in my life but i need him so bad
immediately adding "the oddly pedestrian life of christopher chaos" to this list it's not a full frankenstein adaptation/retelling but it has enough elements to make it one of my absolutely faves
