Little Frankenstein

There are several elements in a movie that make up the horror genre. Many different elements at play. These things really just set the scene for a horror movie. Things such as:
  • stormy nights
  • odd music
  • escalating music preceding important events
  • yelling
  • flashes of light
  • digital (or in the case of film) tearing and glitching (mistakes on film real)
  • blood or body parts
  • still things coming to life (jumping out)
  • torchure
  • slight comic relief
  • perfect family
  • revenge
  • dead still being alive / coming alive
  • unnatural communication with dead
  • mind control
  • voodoo
  • weird unknown magic (compared to normal magic? lol)
  • a creepy guy that is a part of the main case that is suspicious
  • youthful people
  • weird haircuts
  • eccentric personalities
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
  • her mother died within a couple days of giving birth
  • Prego five times, almost miscarried in her fifth pregnancy.
  • Raised in a literary household
  • She's 18, 19 years old and hormonally all off the wall. This summer there is a weird volcano eruption that covered the sun and rained endlessly the entire time. It is in this time that she decides to right these kinds of gothic stories. This is how the novel "Frankenstein" is born.
