#####Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters!

This is r/Frankenstein, where we gather to discuss the original 1818 novel by Mary Shelley and the many Frankenstein-related movies and other media to come since. Feel free to share your artwork, Halloween costumes, or cool Frankenstein merch you find!

#####Rules

Don't get chased out of here by an angry mob wielding torches and pitchforks! Follow our MONSTER list to avoid becoming an unwelcome monster yourself!:

Maintain civility in discussion with others. Debates are fine, arguments are not.
Only share Frankenstein-related media/discussions, there are other communities for general horror topics.
NSFW content should be properly labeled; overly violent or sexual content is not allowed.
Spoiler etiquette is necessary for any unreleased media or media which is less than 30 days old. See etiquette guide below.
Treat all fans with respect. Some people like the book but not the movies; some may love the movies and have never read the book. All are Frankenstein fans and all are welcome here.
Ensure that artists/creators, including yourself, are credited. AI-generated media of any kind is not allowed.
Report any rule-breaking via the Report button. Any questions for mods, use the 'Message the Mods' feature.

#####Spoiler Etiquette

Spoiler etiquette is required for posts and comments containing spoilers for new media.

Spoilers include the discussion of or the sharing of unofficial content (rumors, leaks, set photos, etc.) from any unreleased or recently-released media under a month old. This applies to all media, not just Frankenstein-related.

Posts containing spoilers should be marked as such, and the title should indicate what it spoils (name of show, movie, etc.) and not contain any spoilers itself (twists, surprises, or endings).

For example, "SPOILERS for 'Frankenstein in 3D': Question about the ending?"

Comments: To use the spoiler tag to hide information in your comments, use the following method:

>!It's alive!<

becomes:

!It's alive!<

If in doubt, assume it's a spoiler.

Some scholars contend that 'Frankenstein' was the first science-fiction story! For more science-fiction material, visit our friend community r/SciFi
