GUILLERMO DEL TORO
Guillermo del Toro says:
“This film concludes a journey for me that started at age seven, when I saw James Whale’s Frankenstein films for the first time. Gothic horror became my church, and Boris Karloff my Messiah. It is an honor to be able to invite people to take a closer look at how my incredible crafts team and I have brought Mary Shelley’s world to life on screen.”
The exhibition will run from 17th October to 9th November at The Old Selfridges Hotel, London and will be open 10 am until 6 pm Thursday-Sunday each week.
Free tickets will be available to book from 8 am BST on Friday, 12th September at:
