Frankenstein 1970 was directed by Howard W. Kock and was released on July 20, 1958. This film is a post-World War II adaptation of the original, where Baron Victor von Frankenstein is a victim of torture perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II because of his refusal to participate in their experimentation. He kills off members of a television crew that is living in his home while filming a horror movie for body parts and organs to be used for the monster, who is created using an atomic reactor. An interesting point about this movie, in particular, is that Victor Frankenstein is played by Boris Karloff, who famously played the monster in the first three films of Universal Pictures’ Frankenstein series. Though the monster is not referred to as Frankenstein in the film, the casting of this movie could be a possible reason why Dr. Frankenstein and the monster are commonly switched up in the media and in the modern-day. Because of the post-World War II lens, this was filmed in, the movie does not follow the original plot of Mary Shelley’s 1818 edition of Frankenstein, though it is inspired by the characters and themes.
