Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 2024 film, ”Lisa Frankenstein ”, which is one of our new favorites of this series! More than just an 80’s parody comedy horror, screenwriter Diablo Cody crafts an incredibly smart script that pulls elements of Mary Shelley’s history, the Diodati Summer, and the classic Universal films through the vantage point of an 80’s Comedy/Horror film. No small feat to thread that needle. Well done.

Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1986 film, ”Gothic”, which is my least favorite adaptation of the Summer of Darkness. We at least have Natasha Richardson and Julian Sands.

Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1988 film, ”Haunted Summer”, which is not my favorite adaptation of the Summer of Darkness, but not my least favorite. We at least have Laura Dern and Eric Stoltz.

Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1988 film, ”Rowing with the Wind”, which is my personal favorite of all of the 4 (soon to be 5!) films about the Summer of Darkness in 1816, just because of it’s historical accuracy and artistic embellishment of adding the Monster into the story as a character. And Valentine Pelka is pretty easy on the eyes as Percy Byshee Shelley, and so is Hugh Grant as Lord Byron, to be honest.

Join Matt & I as we start a new series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 2017 film, ”Mary Shelley ”, which feels like the ONE film out of 4 about the creation of her novel, Frankenstein that she edited herself from the grave. She who holds the pen last - wins.
