Frankenstein and the Vampyre - A Dark and Stormy Night (2014x237)

Air date: Nov 01, 2014

The greatest, spookiest, most productive literary house party in horror history is at the core of this lightning-lashed documentary. Actors re-create the dark, debauched summer of 1816 in a villa by Lake Geneva in Switzerland when Mary Godwin and Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and two of their friends drank, took drugs, had sex and wrote ghost stories.
