This is a collage of the Goss Frankenstein monster kill scenes in the little known Frankenstein (2004) TV-budget two-part TV mini-series from the Hallmark Channel with one star in the cast [Donald Sutherland] is the most faithful adaption to the novel, even more faithful than the big-budget movie Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) with the all-star cast. Three kills and causing one death. The Goss Frankenstein monster accidentally killed Daniel Williams's William Frankenstein by suffocation. The Frankenstein monster deliberately killed William Frankenstein by strangulation in the novel by Mary Shelley. The Goss Frankenstein monster killed Dan Stevens's Henry Clerval seemingly by strangulation. The Goss Frankenstein monster killed Nicole Lewis's Elizabeth by strangulation, as in the novel. The Goss Frankenstein monster caused the death of Alec Newman's Victor Frankenstein.

The Goss Frankenstein monster explained that William Frankenstein's death was an accident, "I never intended to harm him..."

The Goss Frankenstein monster explained to Elizabeth, "He has given me no choice. He does not deserve you." To explained why he was killing her just to take her from Victor Frankenstein because Victor took away the female companion for the Frankenstein monster by refusing to finish making her and Victor even burned her body.

The Luke Goss Frankenstein (2004) TV mini-series is very faithful to the novel, which I personally love but it doesn't work as well as Karloff's natural expansion of the character in the Universal series of films, since film is a very different visual medium. Karloff's Frankenstein monster has a more visually interesting and iconic look with his flat head, brow ridge, neck bolts, etc. than Goss's long haired man with a little forehead stitches. The most successful faithful adaption of the novel is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994).

The original novel Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus (1818) by Mary Shelley described the Frankenstein monster as having "flowing black hair, black lips." The Goss Frankenstein monster had the long flowing black hair, but not the black lips. The novel also described, "His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath [meaning his skin being stitched together scarcely covered his insides]; his shriveled complexion [meaning he had lean and wrinkled skin]." The Frankenstein monster deliberately killed William Frankenstein by strangulation in the novel by Mary Shelley. The Frankenstein monster tried to make William Frankenstein his friend at first in the novel by Mary Shelley, because he thought that William was so young and innocent that he ‘‘was un-prejudiced and had lived too short a time to have imbibed a horror of deformity. If, therefore, I could seize him and educate him as my companion and friend, I should not be so desolate in this peopled earth." But William shouted in fear, "Let me go, monster! Ugly wretch! You wish to eat me and tear me to pieces. You are an ogre. Let me go, or I will tell my papa. Hideous monster! Let me go. My papa is a Syndic— he is M. Frankenstein—he will punish you. You dare not keep me." The Frankenstein monster said to William, "Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy—to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim." The Frankenstein monster explained, "The child still struggled and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart; I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet. I gazed on my victim, and my heart swelled with exulta-tion and hellish triumph; clapping my hands, I exclaimed, ‘I too can create desolation; my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him, and a thousand other miseries shall torment and destroy him.’" Victor Frankenstein explained in the novel by Mary Shelley that the Frankenstein monster killed Elizabeth by strangulation, "The murderous mark of the fiend’s grasp was on her neck, and the breath had ceased to issue from her lips."
