Frankenstein Friday
Frankenstein Friday is an annual event celebrated on the last Friday of October. It is a day to celebrate Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, and its iconic monster.
The holiday was created in 1997 by Ryan MacCloskey of Westfield, New Jersey. MacCloskey chose the last Friday of October because it falls close to Halloween, and because he liked the alliteration of the name "Frankenstein Friday."
Frankenstein Friday is a great opportunity to learn more about Mary Shelley's novel and its impact on popular culture. The holiday is also a fun time to dress up as Frankenstein's monster or other characters from the novel.
