My father would often recount that he saw it upon its release when he was 11 -- and how it sacred the crap out of him. Probably why I love it. I think of dad when it airs.

IMO it's the most complete film of the Universal Frankenstein franchise. More suspenseful than the original and way superior than the hokey "Bride" sequel.
