Title: It's alive! 'Frankenstein' gets another film adaptation

It's alive! 'Frankenstein' gets another film adaptation (http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/09/its-alive-frankenstein-gets-another-film-adaptation.html)

Let's just hope that man-made creatures don't become the rage because probably the last thing I would like to see if there's a sequel to the current Depp/DS film would be a reimagining of the Adam storyline!  [ghost_nowink]  But it is fascinating how so many Frankenstein projects are in development...

A boo-boo in the article: Frankenstein was first filmed in 1910, then in 1915. The Karloff film was the third. The 1910 film is on dvd and up at You Tube, but the 1915 version is long lost, alas.

Instead of doing Frankenstein for the 10 thousandth time, I'd love to see a movie of the never filmed 19th century novel Varney the Vampire or the Feast of Blood (one full title)
