From the mad, bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron, to her husband the great romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Follow in her dainty footsteps into the dark recesses of a nightmare world for the ultimate
Frankenstein experience.

    if your here for the monster , your going to be disappointed.. Much rambling about Shelleys mother, Father and their social circles etc ,etc, not really a Doc on Frankenstein so much as a doc on Shelley ..They dont start really talking about the book at all until almost the 35minute point of the documentary..

  5. Why is Principal Skinner narrating this documentary?!?! 😉
