color:windowtext'>Night of the Living Dead</span></i><span style='font-size:

the creative team (S.T.A.G.E) was tasked with adapting another pop-culture
classic into a </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";
color:windowtext'>ninety-minute horror trip</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:windowtext;font-weight:normal'>. <i>Frankenstein</i>
was on the top of our list. Not only is Mary Shelley's novel a frightful,
intellectual, and exciting piece of literature, but the image of
Frankenstein's monster is enshrined in the hallowed halls of pop culture. But
how does one shed new light on it? Trying to encapsulate Shelley's novel into
ninety minutes would be foolish, and the 1931 Boris Karloff film is so iconic,
and has been parodied so many times that any attempt to draw directly from it
would be more cutesy than scary. However, we obviously could not ignore them.
What we drew from them were themes such as obsession, the corruption of genius,
and the retaliation against the laws of man. What now? Where can
the symbol that represents these themes exist in our modern day adaptation? How
do we honor Shelley's brilliance while making a ninety-minute crowd-pleaser?
Through a casual chat, two CSU students, Lew Wallace and <i>Living Dead</i>
co-director John Paul Soto, accidentally stumbled upon their concept: high school.
They would not literally adapt <i>Frankenstein</i> from Shelley but rather use
the symbolic characters as a device to comment on something new: the cruelty of
high school hierarchy and the prevalence of violence as a solution–Mary
Shelley meets a high school teen horror flick. Over a period of months Wallace
and Soto developed this work along with a team of student designers to bring <i>Franklin
Stein's Project</i> to life, marrying the horror/camp genre with the disturbing
themes that ground it. Welcome, and enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
