Watch it tonight—this is the definitive mad scientist horror that practically invented the genre, featuring Boris Karloff's iconic performance as the creature and James Whale's masterful direction that still holds up as genuinely unsettling. It's a cultural touchstone that's surprisingly modern in its sympathy for the monster, and at under 70 minutes, it's the perfect bite-sized horror experience.

Plot

Henry Frankenstein pieces together body parts in the hope of bringing a human-like creature to life. The mad scientist’s dreams are shattered by his monstrous creation awakening with rage to a world that hates and fears him.
