Mary Shelley’s gothic classic is more than a horror story. Frankenstein addresses real human issues like technological ethics, hubris and prejudice. Though the novel was published 200 years ago, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster continue to endure within popular culture. From Boris Karloff’s iconic portrayal to 2015’s Victor Frankenstein, the silver screen offers many interpretations. At the Hammer Theatre’s event, “Frankenstein Goes to the Movies,” a panel will discuss a number of these movies and show choice clips. Admission is free, but space is limited and reservations are recommended.
