Frankenstein (1931) is an iconic American Horror film directed by James Whale and produced by Carl Laemmle Jr. for Universal. Whale based the story on the 1927 play written by Peggy Webling based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel 'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus'. For Boris Karloff, his role as the monster was a breakthrough. The film became a huge success and received several sequels. In 1991, it was listed on the National Film Registry.
