And a Happy Birthday to Mary Shelly!

Mary Shelly was born 202 years ago today.  Without her wonderful story of "Frankenstein", the world would be missing out on many of Universal's Classic Monster movies.

For today's Mary Shelly post, I thought I would show how the Frankenstein Monster has changed throughout the Universal series.
