Chapter 8

Halloween Month continues in the Video Vault as JB and Eddie put on their lab gear and take a look at James Whale's 1931 classic Frankenstein. Tune in to hear about Boris Karloff's sad story in getting the part, his general disrespect on set, the underrated icon Colin Clive, the Monster just being the Monster, and JB's ever-growing man crush on Dwight Frye. Also, the Cabinet of Dr. Galigari gets eviscerated, how Hammer dropped the Frankenstein ball, what Frankenstein learned from Dracula, and Eddie yells at JB!

JB and Eddie continue Halloween Month by continuing their discussion of Frankenstein with three films: "Bride of Frankenstein," "Son of Frankenstein," and Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein!" Listen in as the guys discuss the tragedy of Colin Clive, Ernest Thesiger as a William Regal/Rick Sanchez combination, and how Young Frankenstein managed to pay homage to all of the original Universal Trilogy and still make a good movie! Plus, Gene Wilder's mustache, the amazing Madeline Kahn, a cameo appearance from "Clue," and the legendary rivalry between Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi!

Today we are talking about Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the inventor of horror. While we might not find this book horrific we do have strong opinions on Victor Frankenstein and his monster. This episode also features an unintentional rap about climbing through a window. Get ready to be terrified by how unintellectual our conversation turns out to be!--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bookcult/supportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.
