Put a period after 'table'. Leave out the 1st 'and' & use a capital T in 'the'.

My take:
"Dr. Frankenstein flung (on) a power switch (no semi colon) and blue streamers of static electricity crackled (all) about the table and [you could make this two sentences by breaking here and taking out 'and' or keep it as a longer sentence if it fits into the paragraph well] the creature gave a grunt, (opening) it's smoldering eyes." [it is correct to say 'and opened' but since you said 'and' just a few words ago it feels odd to say it again, I think]

Dr. Frankenstein flicked (flung would mean he threw it) a power switch. (The compound-complex sentence is too much) Blue streams (streamers are not what you're looking for, they're decorations) of static electricity crackled about the table. The creature gave a grunt and opened his smoldering eyes. (too many compound sentences)
