"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein!"
*An Arctic expedition, led by Robert Walton IV, finds what it has been searching for: the body of Frankenstein's monster, encased in the ice. A storm threatens the crew before they can extract their prize, and a mutiny breaks out among the superstitious crew. Walton quells the rebellion with the help of the cabin boy Sean Farrell and First Mate Canute, and they get underway with their cargo aboard. Walton recounts the tale of how young Victor (renamed as 'Henry' in this telling) Frankenstein experimented with re-animation...against the advice of all sane voices...which led to his creation of the Monster. Frankenstein quickly determined his creation was a mistake, but that it possessed a power which made it uncontrollable, and could not be destroyed. The Monster escaped, leaving a trail of death behind it, which Frankenstein followed. Before Walton can conclude his tale, his ship sails into a gale. A cabin fire breaks out, melting the ice which encases the monster. *Source: Warlock
