Spooky Ventures, Tales of Wonder and Dread and Frankenstein

POPLAR GROVE, Ill. - Rezul -- Spooky Ventures and Tales of Wonder and Dread are teaming up to celebrate Frankenstein Day. August 30^th is recognized as Frankenstein Day. In honor of the occasion. Spooky Ventures will be unleashing its new, pseudo-vintage, silent short film adaptation of "Frankenstein," while Tales of Wonder and Dread will be publishing a new edition of the original novel augmented with pictures from that short film.

National Frankenstein Day was established to celebrate the impact of Mary Shelley's monstrous creation. It was originally celebrated on the final Saturday of October, but was later moved to August 30^th. That date was chosen because it was Mary Shelley's birthday - August 30^th, 1797. It's timing at the end of August, also aligns it as a signpost between summer and the time many people consider Spooky Season.

Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" was published on January 1^st, 1818. It tells the tale of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a man obsessed with creating a living being from parts scavenged from corpses. Interestingly, over the centuries, people have gotten into the habit of calling his creation "Frankenstein," but the being was not given a name in the novel.

Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing was founded in 2018. The focus of the imprint is on science fiction (wonder) and horror (dread), but they also publish books that are more just "spooky."

Spooky Ventures began in 2019. Video content has been a central focus from the beginning, but Spooky Ventures also sells a line of branded merchandise. As the operation has evolved, eventually a horror hosting show emerged. Then in 2025 Spooky Ventures began producing films.

The Spooky Ventures contribution to the Frankenstein Day will be a pseudo-vintage silent short film adaptation of Frankenstein. It will be released on both the Spooky Ventures YouTube channel and its Facebook page on the morning of August 30^th. It's the latest in a series of pseudo-vintage silent short films from Spooky Ventures. The two main actors in the short are Arthur Vinke as Victor Frankenstein and Andrew Laabs as the creature.
