Sarah Chamberlain on Frankenstein

Hosted by Chris Piuma and Suzanne Conklin Akbari with Sarah Chamberlain

Not only is it a movie that deal with death, which is a huge concept for children, but it deals with it in a kind of fun way, but also a way that makes it a little scary and makes it a little OK, and I think that children [experiencing] that might help them be ready for scary things that could happen later on.

A bonus to our episode on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We are joined by Sarah Chamberlain, one of the hosts of fellow Megaphonic podcast A Part Of Our Scare-itage. Sarah is deeply familiar with the world of horror movies, and Frankenstein is her favourite book—so we were excited to talk with her about a few of the many, many, many, many film adaptations that have been made. What gets changed, what gets added, and what audiences are addressed in these films? Also, what kind of horror is appropriate for children?
