Frankenstein

The film's name was derived from the mad, obsessed scientist, Dr. Henry Frankenstein, who experimentally creates an artificial life - an Unnamed Monster, that ultimately terrorizes the Bavarian countryside after being mistreated by his maker's assistant Fritz and society as a whole. The film's most famous scene is the one in which Frankenstein befriends a young girl named Maria at a lake's edge, and mistakenly throws her into the water and drowns her.

Young Frankenstein

Mel Brooks'  hilarious tribute to Mary W. Shelley's classic pokes fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a corpse to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the voluptuous Inga (Teri Garr), he creates a monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved.
