Mary Shelley's 1818 book, Frankenstein, began a popular trend among science fiction and horror authors and screenwriters. For over a century now, films have been produced that replicate the novel of Frankenstein and the mysteries surrounding the creation of life from scratch. Numerous films show humans creating creatures or monsters, with good intentions, only for something to go wrong and the creation wreaks havoc on everyone involved.

Scientists and doctors have worked hard for many years to turn this fiction into reality. When Frankenstein was made into a film in 1931, a memorable scene from the film became the dark and gloomy night when Victor's creation came to life. The violent thunder and lightning made the audience anticipate that an intense moment was about to occur. Victor's corpse has been lifted up to an opening at the top of the ceiling where a magnificent light show is displayed, jolting the machines connected to his creation. After the corpse is fully returned to the laboratory, Victor notices a slight movement of the sewn stitches on the corpse's hand. He shouts “Look! It's moving. He's alive! He's alive! Oh, in the name of God. Now I know what it means to be God.” Immediately after,...... middle of paper......tp://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-ropeik/scientists-bring-back-art_b_583876.html> .Sato, Rebecca.
