frankenstein at IUPUI

This is something I ran across at my class, for all you Fankenstein fans - apparantly there's a whole day devoted to the original story, its "afterlife" - meaning the spinoff movies, etc. and the philosophies behind it. I copied the text of the webpage below for the lazies in the audience, but their page is so much nicer and easier to read...so here's a link...

Frankenstein, The Making of the Monster
(50-minute video, 1993)
9:00 a.m. - 10:20 a.m.
Ruth Lilly Auditorium, IUPUI University Library

In 1816 at the age of 18 and after an evening of ghost story telling contests, Mary Shelley had a waking dream that produced a vision of a lonely artificially created monster. Through literature, film, imagination, and even science, this envisioned creature and all he represents has retained a place in our cultural conscience. This film gives full treatment to the magic of the novel and the baroque and maudlin comics and movies it spurred.
