DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN: Forgotten Monsters in the Age of TWILIGHT?
Dracula and the Frankenstein monster are supposed to be immortal, but cultural amnesia is threatening their legacy. Or so vampire novelist RH Greene believes.
“2011 marks the 80th anniversary of both the Bela Lugosi screen version of DRACULA and the Boris Karloff FRANKENSTEIN. These two 1931 films are arguably the most revered and influential horror titles of all time. But you’d have to be a hardcore fanboy to know that either movie just hit a milestone.
says Greene, who is the author of INCARNADINE: THE TRUE MEMOIRS OF COUNT DRACULA, a medieval origin myth for literature’s most infamous vampire.
Guillermo Del Toro’s ”Frankenstein”
Guillermo del Toro said that he wants Doug Jones to star in his remake of ”Frankenstein.”
Del Toro admitted that Doug Jones who also played in his ”Pan’s Labyrinth” and ”Hellboy” (I,II) would be his ideal choice to play Victor Frankenstein’s monster.
He said: “For the monster I would love to have Doug Jones. I think he can do a fantastic job.”
