Question
My question involves a movie from sometime around the mid 70's to the mid 80's, it's about Mary Shelly (the author of Frankenstein) and some of her friends during a ghost story, this is where she thinks of the idea of Frankenstein it is also, according to legend, where a poem about Dracula gets written and that's where Bram Stoker gets his idea about writing a book about the legend of Dracula. I can't remember the title but I know that once I see it I'll remember it. If you could please help me, thanks.
Thanks for asking. I believe the film you're referring to is "Gothic" (1986 or 87), starring Nathasha Richardson as Mary Shelley. You can purchase it on DVD from Movies Unlimited. Please use the following link:
