Frankenstein Friday, the last Friday of October, celebrates Mary Shelley and her novel Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein and his monster are well-known horror characters in literature. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818. The novel is about a scientist who creates a creature. It was written as a horror story, but scholars have interpreted it as a criticism of the scientific revolution and the Industrial Revolution. In 1910, Thomas Edison's studio made a one-reel, 15-minute film of Frankenstein. It was thought to be lost until it was rediscovered in the 1980s.  

National Frankenstein Friday, on the last Friday in October, this year October 29.

We have been unable thus far to find the creator of this national day, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
