HORROR - SCI FI: Frankenstein (1931)

Frankenstein!

It's such an iconic name in cinematic history that Boris Karloff and the creation of the Frankenstein Monster became synomymous with the film . . . all you had to say was "Frankenstein" and everybody knew who you meant!

Maven has come across some interesting links - and old ones she's enjoyed! - that she'll be putting here all in one place . . . not to mention a few other pages here for shortcuts for your reading pleasure!

First things first . . . what about Frankenstein's Mother, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley?!

Maven came across a biography through a link she got from Crystal, a student up north. Thanks, Crystal!

Here is a article about Shelley from one of Maven's former blogs:

I AM WOMAN . . . HEAR ME SCARE!

Was This the First

Face Transplant?!

Then there is the first version of Shelley's work as a movie . . . by Thomas Edison no less. . . . Here is an article about Edison and the first Horror movie ever at http://www.filmbuffonline.com/Features/EdisonsFrankenstein1.htm

Several internet sites offer the movie on the internet. The quality of the films refect a movie made a hundred years ago at the dawn of motion picture making:

Maven came across a clip from This Is Your Life (November 20, 1957) about Boris Karloff . . . with a MUCH older Jack Pierce to pay tribute to Karloffe. He had brought along one of the bolts that Piece had placed on Karloff's neck as the Frankenstein Monster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMVWZA6hv8g

And a color clip of Karloff as the Monster running amuck . . . and in color! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaTSAfJ6Smo

Maven came across this site doing research and thought it might fit in here: It's a computer-generated portrait of Lon Chaney, Jr., as the Frankenstein monster at http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=37119
