The
first Frankenstein movie made in 1910 made by J Searle Dawley starring
Augustus Philips, Charles Ogle and Mary Fuller and produced by Thomas
Edison, thats right light bright himself! It was shot in three days in
an old factory in the bronx and was considered lost but like all lost
but awesome thing was discovered in someones mother attic collecting
dust in the 1970's. Enjoy!
1931 classic we all think of Frankenstein staring Boris Karloff! and Colin Clive and Dwight Frye and Mae Clark.
Go check out Count Gore De Vol introduces Lady Frankenstein from 1971 staring Rosalba Neri and shot in Italy
Not
to mention my favorite The Bride of Frankenstein directed by James
Whale staring Boris Karloff and Elsa Lancaster as the bride herself!
This movie was the bane of censorship boards with abundant christian
imagery, nudity, blasphemy, even a crucifixion scene which had to be cut
And
as always how can we talk about Frankenstein without discussing the
brilliant 1974 homage Young Frankenstein made by Mel Brooks and the
puttin on the Ritz number with Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle
The
of course we have 1943's Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman staring Bel
Lagosi AND Lon Chaney and the ever present Lionel Atwil the hardest
working man in horror
Then we bring on Hammer Horror and Christopher Lee Curse of Frankenstein 1957
Then there was the hilarious comic duo Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein in 1948
The Son of Frankenstein in 1939
and in 1942 we had The Ghost of Frankenstein
From a Beloved TV series Dad, stamps and even a childrens cereal this nightmare created by Mary Shelly has been a cultural constant the world over.
