Our favorite monsters that were born at the end of the 19th Century are reborn again tonight at 10p on Showtime in
Penny Dreadful and you don’t want to miss them coming back to life.
Penny Dreadful, is an English tabloid magazine in the late 19th that talks about all the things that go bump in the night.
Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton) is looking for his daughter, Mina, who has been kidnapped by Vampires. While looking for her, he will meet many other creatures who are just as scary. Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) helps him with his search and she is a woman way ahead of her times. Ethan Chandle (Josh Hartnett) is an American, who is an expert marksmen, and he catches Ives’ eyes so she recruits him. Now they will seek what no one else wants to find and protect people from horrors that make Jack the Ripper seem wimpy.
Tonight we will meet Dr Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and his creature. In upcoming episodes we will also meet Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney) and he is sexier than the way we pictured him in that eternal painting.
Penny Dreadful is a dark tale that will scare you the same way you were scared as a kid the first time you saw something with Vampires and Frankenstein in it. We all need to be reminded of that fear every now and again and Penny Dreadful is the perfect reminder.
