 After the release of Whale's cinematic "Frankenstein", the public at large began speaking of the creature itself as "Frankenstein".This also occurs in Frankenstein films, including "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) and several subsequent films, as well as in film titles such as "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".Furthermore, the 1939 film "Son of Frankenstein" introduced an evil laboratory assistant, Ygor (Bela Lugosi), who never existed in the original narrative.
