Frankenstein: Film with Live Soundtrack

Frankenstein: Film with Live Soundtrack

See one of the most recognizable characters in film history, Frankenstein’s monster, played by Boris Karloff, in this 1931 classic. Hear the North State Symphony accompany the film while performing the spooky score written by Grammy-nominated composer Michael Shapiro to enhance H.K. Gruber’s horror movie experience.

The classic and definitive monster/horror film of all time, director James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) is the screen version of Mary Shelley’s Gothic 1818 nightmarish novel of the same name (Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus). The film, with Victorian undertones, was produced by Carl Laemmle Jr. for Universal Pictures.
