Frankenstein with Julian David Stone
Manage episode 349350473 series 2816385
Today I sit down with screenwriter and author Julian David Stone to discuss his newest historical fiction novel, It’s Alive! Steeped in research, this book explores the wild days leading up to the production of Universal’s Frankenstein (1931). We discuss Universal Monsters, the lasting impact of Frankenstein, how to write creatively about history, and of course, we touch on some Halloween memories. All that plus I sew in all your most monstrous EEEEKmails to make the perfect episode! Now I know what it feels like to be God!
*Note: I misrepresented Murderbot Diaries on the air as a TV series when in fact it is a book series you can learn more about here!
Also mentioned on this episode:
Thomas Edison's Frankenstein (1910)
This is Your Life: Boris Karloff
Jack Pierce — Forgotten Make-up Genius - American Cinematheque
GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM AND THE BIRTH OF AMERICAN HORROR
