The most famous horror film of all time. When brilliant but deranged Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) attempts to create life out of the organs of dead bodies, a grotesque, pitiful monster (Boris Karloff) is born. Screenwriter Robert Florey devised the now-famous plot twist in which the monster is accidentally given a madman's brain adding additional terror to Mary Shelley's original dark and foreboding tale. This documentary traces the forty year history of this museum devoted to the "Hollywood Horrors," but is truly a history of the classic horror films. Told directly through the makeup artists, the actors, or their families, in never-before-seen interviews. This colorful "Witches Brew" of visual delights features over 500 rare behind-the-scenes photos and colorful posters, newly restored, plus all the elements that made going to the movies an event! A two hour kaleidoscope of vintage chills!
