The Celluloid Monster
The reshaping of Mary Shelley's story began almost from the
moment it first appeared. The 1931 Universal Studios production of
Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff as the monster, capped more
than a century of variant tellings of the original story. Compared to
Shelley's sensitive, articulate creature, Universal's was crude and
unformed. But the sheer power of Hollywood image-making gave
him an impact as great or greater than Shelley's, and made him into
an icon of popular culture.
Just as Shelley's story was shaped by the science of the day, so
was Hollywood's influenced by some of the scientific and
pseudo-scientific preoccupations of its day, including eugenics,
robots, and surgical transplants.

Escaping Shelley's Frame
In 1823 Mary Shelley's father told her of an English Opera House
production of a play entitled Presumption; or, The Fate of
Frankenstein. Though inspired by her novel, the play departed from
it freely--as playwrights, filmmakers, and political cartoonists have
done ever since. Shelley's original novel, memorable for its story
and ambitious in the large questions it poses, has invariably been
simplified and distorted, sometimes almost beyond recognition.
The Monster in Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein, 1823
The actor T.P. Cooke played the monster in this 1823 stage
adaptation of Frankenstein. His make-up left him, by one account,
with a "shriveled complexion, lips straight and black, and a horrible
ghastly grin."

The Irish Frankenstein, 1843
Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division
When nineteenth-century English editorial cartoonists wished to
depict some group as brutish, primitive, or inclined to run amok, they
routinely invoked the image of the Frankenstein monster. Here, their
target was the Irish.

The Edison Kinetogram, March 10, 1910
U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Edison National Historic Site
The first cinematic version of Frankenstein was a silent film produced by Edison Films; it came two decades before the famous 1931 Universal Studios picture.
Hollywood Produces Frankenstein
Would Americans attend "horror films"? The success of a stage version of Dracula, the story of an aristocratic vampire, helped convince producers at Hollywood's Universal Studios that they would. In 1930, Universal bought film rights to Peggy Webling's Frankenstein: An Adventure in the Macabre, which had premiered in London three years earlier. An obscure English actor, William Henry Pratt, who went by the stage name of Boris Karloff, played the monster in Universal's adaptation of the Webling play. Karloff's success in Frankenstein made him a star. The film itself became an almost instant classic of a new genre--the horror movie.
Boris Karloff Being Transformed into the Monster
In posed studio portraits, Boris Karloff looks like many another conventionally handsome movie actor; make-up artist Jack Pierce made him into the monster. Pierce's three months of research into anatomy and surgery convinced him that a surgeon determined to transplant a brain would cut the top of the skull straight across, hinge it, pop in the new brain, then clamp it shut. Hence, the monster's flat, squared-off head.

Boris Karloff as the Monster in Frankenstein
Photofest
Frankenstein earned rave reviews, was named to top-ten lists, and made lots of money; the production cost $290,000 in Depression-era dollars, and earned more than $12 million.

Boundary Crossings in 1931
In the years before Universal Studios released Frankenstein in 1931, scientists seemed poised to penetrate once-sacrosanct boundaries between life and death, a prospect that continued both to trouble the intellect and thrill the imagination. Newspapers and magazines speculated freely about one day reviving the dead, achieving immortality through the use of artificial organs, and altering the genetic shape of future generations through eugenics. The Universal film responded to these themes in popular culture.
1935 Article: "Can Science Raise the Dead?"
In the 1930s, American chemist Robert E. Cornish killed a dog with nitrogen gas, then revived it. Emboldened by this success, he vainly sought access to men executed in the chamber. These efforts to revive the dead got widespread press coverage during the 1930s.

The movies were still very much
in their infancy when
FRANKENSTEIN
was brought to the screenfor the first time.
Edison produced a one-reel(975ft.) version in 1910.
A film lost to the ravages of time. Two reviews
in the Moving Picture World of the time gave this
information: ". . . a liberal adaptation of Mrs. Shelly's
famous story . . . it shows Frankenstein, a young
student leaving his father and sweetheart to pursue
his studies at college. In the course of his research
he discovers the awful mystery of life and death
and immediately determines to realize his one consuming
ambition to create the most perfect human, being
that the world has ever seen.

The actually repulsive situations in the original version have been
carefully eliminated . . . no film has ever been released that can
surpass it in power to fascinate an audience. The scene in the
laboratory in which the monster seemed gradually to assume human
semblance is probably the most remarkable ever committed to a
film." -(MPW March 19th, 1910)
"The formation of the monster in the cauldron of blazing chemicals is
a piece of photo graphic work which will rank with the best of its
kind. The entire film is one that will create a new impression that the
possibilities of the motion picture in reproducing these stories are
scarcely realized. . ." -(MPW April 2nd, 1910).
The review in the March 15th, 1910 Edison Cinetogram gives the
impression of a Jekyll-Hyde or Dorian Gray treatment of a story- that
the monster is somehow connected with the lower part of
Frankenstein's nature, and that when the young scientist loses all
morbid, unnatural thoughts and ambitions, and thinks only of his love
for Elizabeth, the monster dissolves into thin air.
This same issue has two rare stills of the monster, looking
something like the dwarf, Mime, in Fritz Lang's SIEGFRIED. Of
course, credits were rarely if ever given in films or their reviews at
that time, so it's not known who worked in or on the film.

The powerful image of the Frankenstein monster from Mary Shelly's
memorable novel has been a source of movie inspiration almost
from the beginning of the medium, and continues to be a large
box-office attraction even in this day of epic spectacles.
It was well over a century since this classical story had first been
told. Mary W. Shelley's strange novel was published in 1818.
The authoress was the wife of Percy Shelley, the famed poet. She
had written and researched the story on a dare! when she was only
eighteen.
The novel achieved worldwide fame. It is still solidly in print (recently
having sold over quarter of a million copies in a paperback edition).
But the movie became known to people who had never heard of the
book.
The word "Frankenstein" has become part of the language. (It has
also, by mistake, become attached not to the famous doctor but to
his gruesome creation.)
An extensive search has been under way for many years to locate
some print or even a scene from the first film version of the novel,
filmed by Thomas Edison about 60 years ago! Many film collectors
are still confidentof eventual success, although others are afraid that
this rare classic has been lost forever.
The first surviving version Golem was made in Germany in 1914.
The part of the clay giant, brought to life through magical means,
was played by Paul Wegener, who himself produced and again
starred in the second version.
Homunculus, made in 1916 is about a powerful artificial man who
brings death and destruction upon mankind until killed by a bolt of
lightning.

The following belong to the
Universal Pictures "eight original"
FRANKENSTEIN group:
FRANKENSTEIN (1932);
BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935);
SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939);
GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942);
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN (1943);
HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1945);
HOUSE OF DRACUIA (1945);
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948).
Boris Karloff played in four of the above; also, in the later FRANKENSTEIN 1970 but he only played the Monster three times.
The first FRANKENSTEIN was directed by the great late James
Whale; we owe all later versions to him. He was the genius behind it
all. John P. Fulton's electrical and photographic wizardry was
responsible for the fabulous apparatus that brought the monsterto
fearful life. Jack Pierce's make up, which took hours to apply, was
the foundation of the grand illusion.
An expert cast also assisted. Mae Clarke was Elizabeth, the first of
many heroines to scream and faint after catching sight of the
undying Monsterfor the first time; Edward Van Sloan portrayed Dr.
Waldman; and Dwight Frye was the famous hunchback servant with
the sadistic streak giggling and laughing as he tormented The
Monster with the waving of a flaming torch. burial and sewn to gether
into one being.
The Boris Karloff Frankenstein was very commercial in concept. The
Golem had been highly succesful, and Lugosi's Dracula had proved
the financial advantages of the eerie sound motion picture. And of
course Lon Chaney's silent masterpieces had more than proven
themselves.
But the idea of Frankenstein was also highly risky. It would be the
first picture actually concerned with revival of a dead being. And not
just one being, but a number of corpses, desecrated from their holy
burial and sewn to gether into one being.
(Two Examples of the excellent sets
created for BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN)
Could such a presentation survive the criticism and objections that were bound to be deluged upon it?
In a way it was an extremely risky ****. No commercially motivated backer would have dared stick
his money into such a ****. Yet, within its budget, Frankenstein remained fairly close to the original
book with the notable exception that Shelly's monster despite his hideous form is superior to man in every
respect including intellectually (and morally?) Shelly's monster is not a lumbering oaf to be pitied, rather
an ubermensch to be feared. A primary defect of the Boris Karloff Frankenstein, although the best to date,
was the limited boundaries of the monster's travels. The original novel screams for color and vast backgrounds
of ice and snow. (John Ford?)

The book was not widely read, and the cast was not even headed by
a name star (Lugosi had refused the roll of the creature.) But
sincerity of production triumphed, and, as is often the case with
truely original approaches, the final product realized a fortune.
Bride of Frankenstein took another careful look at the book and
drew forth much that had been bypassed the first time around. In a
special prologue, Miss Lanchester is shown as the authoress of the
story, Mary Shelley.
She continues the story of Frankenstein from where it had left off at
the end of the first film. We see Dr. Pretorius, coming to see Dr.
Frankenstein and persuading him to continue his experiments.
They decide to create a bride for the monster, who still lives. Dr.
Pretoriusis a strange individual indeed. He keeps tiny people in
bottles; and he tries to teach the monster to speak .... with some
success. (But in the third film the monster is as dumb as at the start.)
The monster is captured, and imprisoned in the village jail. But it
escapes.It also meets an old, blind hermit who treats it like an equal,
not being able to see its ugly form.
Frankenstein refuses to go on with his experiments, and the monster
then steals the Doctor's wife, Elizabeth. Forced to continue, he
creates a mate who screams and shrieks and shrinks away from the
"bridegroom." In rage, the monster throws the inevitable switch, and
the laboratory blows sky-high.
Bride of Frankenstein, although an imitation, was artistically
successful through sheer inertia from the first production. Son of
Frankenstein, by all rights, should have been commercial garbage.
Son of Kong sold itself totally on a good reputation in the name,
made a fast buck, and retreated to count its spurious gains.
(Elsa Lanchester and Boris Karloff
in James Whale's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN)
Son of Frankenstein could very well have done the same. Yet the producers didn't. They gave
their theme a fresh approach, a name cast, and more than adequate funds to produce another
classic.
Son of Frankenstein, the last of the Boris Karloff trilogy, was in many ways equal, if not superior
to "Bride". The fourth film, although shoddy in many respects (make-up defects were not properly
attended to before close-upshots; unlike the minute care taken in the first film) came forth with
a good deal of dramatic power all its own.
Few people seeing Ghost of Frankenstein could forget the sequence of the monster surviving even
deriving energy from the very lightning which killed Nomunculus.
Then, in 1943, screenplay scripter Curt Siodmak penned the fast-paced FRANKENSTEIN MEETS
THE WOLFMAN. Universal Jumped on it hoping to suck the last drops of life out of two over
exposed brand names.
Bela Lugosi, who had originally been screen tested for the role of the Frankenstein monster
in 1931, at last a dozen years later, doffing his cape of Dracula, became the creature
created by Boris Karloff. Lon Chaney repeated his role of Larry Talbot, victim of Iycanthropy.
Four years after the tragic death of Larry Talbot, killed by his own father, two sinister
figures enter the graveyard where the Talbot crypt is located, planning to rob the body
of Larry Talbot of its valuables. When they open the coffin, they are frightened to find
the corpse in a perfect state of preservation except for a large scar on its forehead
where Larry was beaten to death in his werewolf form. The full moon shines through the
window and falls on the exposed body. A moment later, one of the grave robbers is seized
by the hand of the corpse itself and dragged screaming toward the coffin. The other villain
scrambles out of the crypt, a babbling oaf.
The over hammy portrayal of the creature by Bela Lugosi in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man
makes one give thanks that he passed the offered role to Boris Karloff originally.
In 1956 at the time of Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein, -the features of the Frankenstein
monster were familiar in everyone's mind. The Boris Karloff version no longer held intrinsic
terror. It had long since been lost to the parade of silly cartoons, bad remakes and endless
merchandising aimed at small childern. The price of success.
Unfortunately, a heavy price paid by Boris Karloff in later years, since his original brilliant
performance was so closely tied to his fortune. Hollywood systematically reduced Frankenstein
from monster to baffon as it drained every dime it could from the brand. The Frankenstein
name now became a mixed blessing for Boris Karloff.
Then came Hammer Productions. The Frankenstein name, by this time, was not an assured
box office success. Color could lend the subliminal suggestion of "quality". But to be on the
safe side, plenty of sex and blood would always attract a crowd.
In UK post war it became necessary to look deeper into the original story and make the
good Victor an out-and-out sex-fiend if not a out right Joseph Mengela. Curse of Frankenstein,
relied upon the horror of gore and brutality to take audiences to a neo-realist level
of "terror." Not an easy task in post war England.
