And I looked up sort of some of the comparisons of that to the book, as well as the very old movie, because it was interesting, like the comparisons between them, like the 1931 movie, the 2025 movie, and then the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley.
Tara PriscoHOST
Well, and you said you

But this is our second to last week of Horror Monster Month of October.
Michael James BensonHOST
And last week, we covered Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from 1994 and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein from just last year.
Michael James BensonHOST
And my gosh, I really appreciated this jump.
Michael James BensonHOST
But it's amazing how many... of all of these versions are infused with romance over the past couple of weeks of the freaking other one of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein how much of the romantic who Kenneth Branagh and oh my gosh And then you have slightly sexy Gary Oldman here, which is, that's what I would say.
Michael James BensonHOST
And Francis Ford Coppola is very much a much more skilled filmmaker than Kenneth Branagh by miles.
Michael James BensonHOST
So there is that.

KayHOST
I think that's different.
KayHOST
Classic horror like Mary Shelley, Shirley Jackson, Lovecraft, a little bit different.
KayHOST
They initially started the horror movement, but King really took it and I think he ran with it and he pushed the boundaries with writing.
KayHOST
I think for his time... specifically i would say in the 80s when all of his books were really super he's still obviously very popular but when his books first came out they really challenged people and how they see horror and what was considered acceptable horror to like view i just i literally just finished pet cemetery last night
