The madness continues, and a winner will be crowned. In this episode of Based on a Book, we return to our Frankenstein adaptation tournament to finish the bracket and determine which version best captures the spirit of Mary Shelley’s legendary story. After narrowing the field in Part 1, the remaining adaptations now battle it out in the final half of the tournament. Using our scoring system, we debate which films deserve to advance and which ones fall short. By the end of the episode, we reveal our Top 3 Frankenstein adaptations and crown the ultimate winner of our tournament. Did your favorite survive the madness?

Hosted by Crystal with co-hosts Keri and Lindsey.
