Mary Shelley's iconic creation turns 200 in 2018, and to celebrate two centuries of Victor Frankenstein and his monster, author Christopher Frayling has written a new book (coming out this Halloween from Reel Art Press) exploring the rich history of Shelley's now legendary novel and the influences it has had on pop culture—on the screen, stage, and page. In today's Horror Highlights, we also have a look at Nerdist's short film The Mystic Museum, and details on the HelLA Horror Night charity event at the Los Angeles Theatre, Blackshaw's Scare Slam at the London Horror Festival, the Filipino folklore animated series Umbra, and the video game Guts.

If you've been feeling left out while the rest of the Internet goes bonkers over Game of Thrones, it's never too late to get hooked. In case you don't want to slog through three seasons of medieval politics, behind-the-scenes scheming, and dwarf sex just so that you can see what all the fuss is about, YouTube channel Stage 5 TV has you covered. The geek culture hub has released a fantastic Game of Thrones rap battle, where most of the show's major characters go up on the mic to explain why they are the best MCs in Westeros. The video is free of spoilers from the latest episode, but does run through the previous seasons without restraint. For whatever reason, the battle is set at a kid's birthday party, but the real focus is the 17 performers, a group that includes Taryn Southern as Daenerys Targaryen and 5 Second Films' Kelsey Gunn as Catelyn Stark.
