it got me thinking about how this story has captivated us for so long and why it keeps being adapted in new ways... maybe it's because we're all just a little bit lonely inside like the monster 
i think what's cool about frankenstein is how it's been retold and reimagined over the years 
. like, it's this classic tale that's still going strong today . from the original 1931 film to more modern stuff like del toro's adaptation 
, it's clear that the story has something timeless about it 
. i love how it's inspired so many other movies and creators too 
. and it's amazing how different people have brought their own unique takes on the monster 
. for me, frankenstein is all about the complexity of the character 
- is he a creature or a being? does he deserve sympathy or pity? i think that's what makes the story so fascinating 
.
so many classics to check out! **Frankenstein (1931)** is a must-watch for any horror fan, and I'm intrigued by **Curse of Frankenstein (1957)** - Christopher Lee as the creature? 
also, who can resist a good ol' fashioned Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein? 
Can they really vouch for each and every one of these films? I mean, some of them are super old, like from the 30s & 40s... didn't they just copy from each other? And where's the context on how they influenced del Toro's adaptation specifically?, but others are total trash... wait, no I mean they're total genius masterpieces! The 1931 Frankenstein film is a must-see for sure, but have you seen the Bride of Frankenstein? It's like, the ultimate sequel that surpasses the original... or does it? And what's up with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein being on this list? I mean, I love 'em as a duo, but in Frankenstein? Not so much 
. On the other hand, Young Frankenstein is pure comedy gold, but at the same time, it's also got some really clever commentary on science and ethics... hmm, what's my point again?
