OM DENNE EPISODE
Originally Aired: June 7, 1955
Suspense #601, "Frankenstein," brings Mary Shelley's classic tale to chilling life. Dr. Victor Frankenstein confides a terrible secret to his friend James, a minister: he has assembled a complete human body from various parts and believes he can give it life. Using a mysterious compound he discovered years earlier while reviving a dead dog, Victor has already made the creature move its limbs. Despite James's horrified pleas to destroy the abomination and abandon his godless experiments, Victor proceeds with one more test, injecting the lifeless form as the minister watches in dread.
To their shock, the creature doesn't just twitch—it begins to breathe, its eyes opening with terrifying awareness. Victor is exhilarated by his achievement, convinced he has accomplished a miracle for science, while James insists the soulless thing must be destroyed immediately. As the two men argue over the fate of the living creature strapped to Victor's laboratory table, Elizabeth returns home unexpectedly. Victor must now decide whether to reveal his monstrous secret to the woman he loves.
