Celebrate Halloween 2018 with 'Frankenstein: The First Two Hundred Years'

There's no better book for Halloween inspiration than Sir Christopher Frayling's celebratory illustrated history, Frankenstein: The First Two Hundred Years. Featured here is a studio portrait of Basil Rathbone as Baron Wolf von Frankenstein in Universal Pictures' 1939 classic, Son of Frankenstein—the third in the studio's Frankenstein cycle and the last to feature Boris Karloff as the Monster. Reflections of Karloff and Bela Lugosi as the broken-necked assistant Ygor are visible in Rathbone's head mirror.
