Doctor Gash's Top 10 Greatest Horror Movies... Ever! #7 - Frankenstein

20 February 2013 9:28 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Film #7 on Doctor Gash’s Top 10 Greatest Horror Movies… Ever! is a classic that was censored and scrutinized in its day for scenes of blasphemy and violence against children.

That’s right, today we may think of Frankenstein as just an old black and white monster movie, but upon its release in 1931, this movie was shocking.
