TCM Celebrates 200th Anniversary of "Frankenstein" as Monster of the Month

Although Mary Shelley's great novel celebrated its 200th anniversary in June, Boris Karloff's definitive role as The Creature is better known as horror iconography than anything else. So in celebration of that fateful vacation at the Villa Diodati, Turner Classic Movies will be presenting not only the Universal franchise this October, but also Hammer's contribution to the character as well as a very sadly but well timed viewing of "Young Frankenstein" and the unofficial 9th film in which our favorite bumbling comics Abbott and Costello meet the Monster of the Month.
