Literature: who is more monster, the creator or his creation?

One of the moments for the universal literature It was that cold night of the nineteenth century in which Mary Shelley, her husband and the poet Lord Byron, mired in a volcanic winter, they began to count stories next to the fire. One of the stories, the one told by Mary Shelley, was the one that would later become the classic Frankenstein, in which a doctor created a monster with parts of corpses.

The beauty of the history is that it was not only a monster tale, but one review on prejudices and being different. And is that the monster was not such a monster, just a poor misunderstood.

Cinema: from pulp pages to series B

Many monsters created in the literature (like Frankenstein, whom we just talked about, or the very famous Lord of the Night, Dracula) were first extrapolated to the pages of pulp magazines and then to the cinema, where they starred in movies of series B.

Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff were among the actores that gave life to these monsters, which again were about poor misunderstood (It was not uncommon for the public to take their side) and that they became the icons we know today: Frankenstein with the screws in the neck. Dracula and his posh hairstyle. The Werewolf and his tattered robbery.
