I am not a fan of "horror" so I do not choose to watch such films (I have gone with others who wanted my presence make them feel secure and strong). When I read the novel (in order to form an opinion of it), it struck me that I was horrified not by the unwise young doctor or the monster (who was a nice loving creature) but by the mob-mentality of xenophobia and persecutory discrimination in human beings.

Thanks Clint. Big time Frankenstein movie fan here. Even more so after I got the latest remastered version a year ago in Native 4K (2160p), HDR–10, and DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 (Any high-end home theater fans out there?). What a thrill. Was like watching the movie for the very first time! Are you aware of the four (4) places that were in the original release of the film in 1931 that were removed when code came in in 1937? The censored version was the only thing any of us had ever seen until either (not sure) the late 90s or early 2000s. When I saw the uncensored version for the first time I recognized all 4 of them. If you (or if anyone who reads this) would like to know what and where those 4 places are I’d be happy to reply with a brief description and timestamps. Thanks, Clint. You’re a man after my own heart. ♥️
