Haunted Summer

Haunted Summer (1988)

Authors Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley get together for some philosophical discussions, but the situation soon deteriorates into mind games, drugs, and sex. It is a fictionalization of the summer that Lord Byron and the Shelleys, together with Lord Byron's ex-lover Claire Clairmont and his Doctor John Polidori, spent in the isolated Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva. It is there they devise a contest to adduce the best horror story to kill the dullness of summer. It is also there that one of the world's most famous books was given life—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

  • Filmat în: Lacul Como

Haunted Summer is a 1988 romantic period-drama film directed by Ivan Passer. The film is a fictionalized retelling of the Shelleys' visit to Lord Byron in Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva, which led to the writing of Frankenstein.

Production

Principal photography began in May 1987 and ran until July. Passer was so keen to cast Stoltz as Percy that he delayed production by seven months. Location shooting took place in Switzerland and Italy, with Lake Como doubling as Lake Geneva, on whose shores the movie's main events happened; finally, sound-stage filming (including a rainstorm scene shot in a water tank) took place in Malta.
