Six Pix presents a sextet of movie posters representing a particular actor/director/theme. You pick the one you feel is visually the most artistic or best sums up the films.
When it comes to classic horror films, few names are more synonymous with the genre than Frankenstein. That’s in spite of the fact that–as sticklers for accuracy never tire of pointing out–the name belongs, not to the monster itself, but to its creator. Since Thomas Edison’s film company made a silent film version in 1910, Mary Shelley’s story has been told and retold in dozens of movies and TV shows. Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, Jr., Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Michael Sarrazin, and Robert De Niro are just a few of the actors who have portrayed the sometimes malevolent, sometimes misunderstood creature. And let’s not forget the comedic depictions courtesy of Fred Gwynne, Peter Boyle, and others…not to mention a favorite around these parts, 1971’s Dracula vs. Frankenstein.
