The Illustrated Frankenstein Movie Guide

Stephen Jones, "The Illustrated Frankenstein Movie Guide"
English | ISBN: 1852865245 | 1994 | scan PDF | 144 pages | 76 MB

A must have guide for any cinema or horror fan. A great source for poster art and photos.
The Illustrated Frankenstein Movie Guide by Stephen Jones, Introduction by Boris Karloff

Reviews and rates over 400 Frankenstein films, from the first silent Frankenstein film in 1910, to "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein", starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert de Niro. Special features on Boris Karloff, Jack Pierce and Peter Cushing are included.

Stephen Jones’ The Illustrated Frankenstein Movie Guide of 1994 (also known as The Frankenstein Scrapbook: The Complete Movie Guide to the World's Most Famous Monster) is a valiant attempt at listing all the Frankenstein films. In fact, Jones casts a very wide net, including films only marginally Frankensteinian.
The catalog format and the sheer number of entries keeps the information on individual titles down to the bare essentials, but this is a very busy and generous book, with tons of stills and posters, that makes it a reference work — a practical checklist, if you will — of Frankenstein and related films.

The intro is actually a reprint of a Karloff writing from the November 1957 Films And Filming originally published as 'My Life As A Monster'.
This book is an intense offering of probably every Frankenstein imaginable up to its writing date. Not only does it list and describe them, but it also reviews the movies and references them all with an index an bibliograpy.
