Originally conceived by author mary Shelley, Frankenstein (or more appropriately, Frankenstein's monster) gained notoriety with Universal Studio's classic 1931 film starring the incomparable Boris Karloff in the role of the monster. Karloff's makeup provided the template for images of Frankenstein's monster for generations to come with a flat head, green skin touched by rigor mortis, stitches on his face and hands, and bolts protruding from his neck.
Bring your party "alive!" with a Frankenstein costume. Opt for character makeup or a high quality black-and-greyscale latex mask officially licensed by Universal and modeled after the likeness of Boris Karloff as the monster. Pick up a Frankenstein costume with a jacket and attached shirt, matching pants and boot covers to give that clunky, fresh-from-the-slab look!
With Frankenstein having inspired other horror-themed characters like Herman Munster and Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" character, the Frankenstein costume makes a great base for any of these other characters and create your own interpretation of a horror classic!
