Examples Of Parody In Frankenstein
Young Frankenstein/Frankenstein Comparison
"Young Frankenstein" and "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein" is a perfect example of satire. To be more specific it is considered a parody, and probably one of the best parody's ever created. The way Mel Brooks depicts the classic horror film with his own personal perspective and twist is truly genius.
