Frankenstein Universal Studios Monsters Figure Hasbro Kenner 1998

Frankenstein's monster gasped its first breath in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, then came alive before everyone's eyes in a 1931 high-voltage film spectacle, which became the most famous horror movie of all time.

A struggling actor named Boris Karloff was given the part of the monster when the film's director spotted him having lunch in the studio commissary and was intrigued by the shape of his head, thinking it had good monster-makeup potential. His insight was correct.

The story begins in Dr. Henry Frankenstein's laboratory where he conducts experiments to create artificial life. A gruesome-looking creature is strapped to an operating table, waiting for a charge of electrical energy from a storm to bring it to life. The experiment goes wrong, and the creature is caught in an existence it cannot comprehend. With its repulsive appearance and brute strength, the Monster terrifies any human it tries to befriend, thus becoming rejected and seeks revenge on humanity.

Karloff's masterful portrayal of the man-made monster that personifies human evil evokes a sort of compassion that leaves the audience both moved and mortified. Wearing a costume that weighed 48 pounds and make-up that took three and a half hours to apply, Karloff exhibits marvelous acts of pantomime despite the restrictions.

From the moment Karloff's Monster appears on the screen, audiences shrieked...but could not look away.
