This Legendary 93-Year-Old Horror Masterpiece Is Alive on Peacock

Fans of the Classic Universal Monsters franchise will rejoice to hear that one of the original horror features, Frankenstein, is heading to Peacock this fall, just in time for Halloween. Released in 1931, the James Whale-directed picture starred character actor Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster and Colin Clive as the titular mad scientist, together breathing new life into the characters from Mary Shelley's original novel. It's hard to believe that the original Frankenstein movie is almost 100 years old (the original novel is over 200), but even at 93, Karloff's most iconic monster still holds up better than most. If you've never taken the time to actually watch this genre-defining horror movie, then consider this your bolt of lightning.
