gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-01 16:00:06

As excitement builds for Guillermo del Toro‘s stylish Frankenstein movie, Penguin Books would like you to remember where the story began. Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, a pioneering work of sci-fi, is getting a special tie-in release with Jacob Elordi‘s hulking, weirdly glamorous monster gracing the cover. Frankenstein has, of course, been adapted many times over the years, with Boris Karloff’s Universal Pictures run as the monster providing the most indelible visual. Frankenstein’s monster (or “Fr

The day is finally here. After months of teasing, Netflix just released the first official look at Frankenstein’s monster from the upcoming Guillermo del Toro film… and he’s kind of beautiful? Oh, he’s hideous, of course. After all, he was created by putting together the remains of several dead bodies. But, thanks in large part to being portrayed by Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein’s monster has a less gruesome and more measured look than many are probably expecting. Here’s the full image: Though th
