Genius or Mad Science?
This Halloween, join us for a special screening of Frankenstein, the legendary Universal horror classic starring Boris Karloff. First released in 1931, Frankenstein brings Mary Shelley’s timeless tale of life, death, and mad science to the big screen with unforgettable imagery—from the crackling lab equipment to the monster’s dramatic reveal.
Before the movie, we’ll explore the real science that inspired Frankenstein: the early experiments with electricity and galvanism, the belief that electrical currents could reanimate life.
Part chilling science, part timeless story, Frankenstein continues to resonate in our current age of biotechnology. It remains the perfect way to celebrate Halloween—and to reflect on the promise and perils of scientific discovery.
Hosted by Alonzo Alexander (Director of The Science House). Screening of FRANKENSTEIN follows talk.
