PopHorror Let's Get Scared

In honor of Women in Horror Month, we must celebrate one of the authors who had a major impact on horror. Mary Shelley created one of the most iconic creature characters: Frankenstein’s monster. The story of this freak of nature has transcended the novel to 1931’s Frankenstein, 1994’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Showtime’s Penny …
