A Gene Wilder
B Fred Gwynne
C Peter Boyle

Peter Boyle played the creature in the Mel Brooks spoof that also starred Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein. Boyle might be best remembered as Frank Barone, the cranky father in ‘Everybody Loves Raymond.’

The first and perhaps most famous cinematic rendering of the Frankenstein monster was by an English actor named William Henry Pratt, who starred in the 1931 film ‘Frankenstein’ and became a horror icon. Never heard of Pratt? You probably know him as Boris Karloff.

The correct answer is Peter Boyle.
