Frankenstein's Monster Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Alright listeners buckle up because your resident monster-ologist Marc Ellery is back with your “Frankenstein’s Monster Biography Flash,” where history’s most misunderstood, socially awkward giant gets his moment in the newsy sun. And let’s be clear he’s not a real dude, but try telling Twitter that when Guillermo del Toro drops a new promo shot.
First, possibly the most important Monster news in years: Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, starring Jacob Elordi as the creature—yes, the tall guy from Euphoria, so cue the memes—has been everywhere this week. After premiering at Venice to some pretty stunned reviews, word is that this version of Frankenstein’s Monster won’t be your classic patchwork abomination. According to Entertainment Weekly and about twenty billion reposted TikToks, this Monster is “staggeringly beautiful”—alabaster skin, scars that are “almost aerodynamic,” and a look more ‘mythic art project’ than ‘crime scene in a rainstorm.’
Del Toro told the Busan International Film Festival that his Monster is about “forgiveness and imperfection” in a world addicted to labeling everything as all good or all bad. This creature exists squarely in the mess of the middle—which, let’s be honest, is where most of us find ourselves at 2 a.m. wrestling with Wi-Fi settings and existential dread.
Major headline alert: The Santa Fe International Film Festival just announced it’s opening this October with Frankenstein, while IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond was out here joking that “Frankenstein and IMAX is great synergy. He’s big. IMAX is big, loud.” I can’t argue with that logic. If you want to see the Monster’s pores in 4K, this is your moment.
On social media, everyone from horror podcasts to meme accounts has been freaking out over a new still released this week, featuring Elordi’s Monster from the back stalking toward Elizabeth Lavenza. Twitter’s been awash in posts dissecting everything from the scar placement to whether his jawline is too sharp to frighten anyone over the age of 12.
Meanwhile, pop culture can’t let go of the classics. The podcasters at Halloweenies just wrapped up their epic triple-feature on “Bride of Frankenstein” and went heavy on revisiting what makes the Monster so relatable: endless existential dread, hot takes on dad issues, isolation, and apparently now, being too pretty.
And in the ultimate sign of Frankenstein’s immortality, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” is about to drop in 4K Blu-ray this November. I say let the Monster have his moment in ultra-high definition—it’s only taken him two centuries to land a proper skincare routine.
