Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This aired on NBC as part of a 'Classics Illustrated' series, because apparently someone thought Frankenstein needed to compete with Knight Rider.

Cultural

Released the same year as David Cronenberg's The Fly, this is what happens when you adapt Mary Shelley with network television standards and zero budget.
