Tales Of Tomorrow: Frankenstein

Tales Of TomorrowThe 16th episode of ABC’s science fiction anthology series, Tales Of Tomorrow, airs on ABC, with each episode’s opening titles proclaiming that the series is produced “in cooperation with the Science-Fiction League of America”, a collective of sci-fi writers including Isaac Asimov and Theodore Sturgeon among its members. This episode, a half-hour adaptation of Mary Shelley’s story, stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the monster and John Newland as Dr. Frankenstein; Chaney infamously mistakes the live broadcast for a rehearsal, resulting in some infamous miscues.
