James Whale drew on stylistic references to German Expressionism for his 1931 film based on Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel FRANKENSTEIN. Chief make-up artist Jack Pierce’s design of the flat-headed creature with bolts in his neck also established Boris Karloff’s monster as synonymous with the word Frankenstein.
