It's alive! It's alive! The podcast is a live! #GHLSpookySeason2025 is in full swing and this year we have set our sights on the release of Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. From Doctor Victor Frankenstein's hubris, to Mary Shelley's genius, to Elizabeth's innocence, and whether he's called "The Creature" or "The Monster" we break down the many distinct facets of a character who has simply come to be known as "Frankenstein" in these Creature-themed episodes from the archives for this MEGA EPISODE:
  • GHL 512: Frankenstein in Pop Culture – Uncover all the different pieces of media that were sown together to create the "Frankenstein" you know and love today
  • GHL 513: DC Comics' Frankenstein – Study up on the big guy from The Creature Commandos
Fire, bad! Podcast, good! Join us for this creepy celebration of all things Frankenstein!
