When Frankenstein moves in

Available for over a year

Staff at a stately home used for scenes in the Netflix film of Frankenstein said they hoped it would introduce a new generation to the historical home. Burghley House, an Elizabethan mansion near Peterborough, lies on the border between Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. Film crews descended on the estate and many of the rooms were transformed into gothic sets for the new adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 horror story. It is directed by Guillermo Del Toro and stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as his monster. Emma Baugh met Philip Gompertz, Burghley's director of commercial visitor operations, to talk about the filming of Frankenstein.
