Bride of Frankenstein (1935): Directed by James Whale, this classic horror film stars Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Henry Frankenstein. The story follows Henry Frankenstein, who is coerced by his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius (played by Ernest Thesiger), and his original creation, the Monster, to create a mate for the Monster. Despite his initial reluctance, Henry eventually constructs the Bride (portrayed by Elsa Lanchester). However, the Bride rejects the Monster, leading to a tragic and fiery conclusion. The Bride (1985): Directed by Franc Roddam, this film reimagines the Frankenstein story and stars Sting as Baron Charles Frankenstein and Jennifer Beals as Eva. Unlike the original Monster, Eva is physically perfect and human-like. However, she is repulsed by the Monster (played by Clancy Brown) and rejects him, leading to a series of dramatic events. The cast also includes Geraldine Page and David Rappaport.

Un front protubérant, des boulons enfoncés dans le cou et une couleur de peau verdâtre : c'est ainsi que nous nous figurons le plus souvent le monstre créé par le savant Henry Frankenstein, dans le célèbre roman de Mary Shelley.C'est comme cela, en tous cas, qu'il apparaît, sous les traits de Boris Karloff, dans le film fameux de James Whale, "Frankenstein", produit en 1931 par la Universal.Mais cette apparence ne correspond pas du tout à la manière dont la créature est décrite, en 1818, par Mary Shelley. En effet, la romancière lui donne une peau jaune, un visage ridé, des dents très blanches et une abondante chevelure noire.Autre différence notable : le monstre de Frankenstein est assez disert chez Mary Shelley, alors qu'au cinéma il est incapable de parler, ne proférant que des sons inarticulés.Le chef-d'œuvre d'un grand maquilleurMais, quelques années après la parution du roman, l'aspect physique du monstre s'est déjà modifié. En effet, dans la première adaptation théâtrale de l'œuvre de Mary Shelley, due à l'auteur dramatique Richard Brinsley Peake, en 1823, l'épiderme de la créature prend une coloration tirant sur le bleu et le gris.Et, par ailleurs, c'est le premier auteur à rendre le monstre muet. Au fil des représentations du monstre de Frankenstein, la peau du personnage prend des teintes diverses, dont le vert.Mais si cette dernière couleur s'est définitivement imposée dans l'imagination populaire, c'est grâce au film de James Whale, qui aura plusieurs suites. L'inoubliable maquillage de la créature, et la couleur verte de sa peau, sont dus au talent d'un maquilleur de génie, Jack Pierce.On lui doit bien d'autres remarquables maquillages, comme celui du grand prêtre égyptien, toujours incarné par Boris Karloff, dans "La momie" (1932), de Karl Freund, ou celui du loup-garou, interprété par Lon Chaney Jr, dans le film homonyme, réalisé en 1941 par George Waggner.Si ce choix a été fait, c'est que ce maquillage vert donnait au monstre, dans le noir et blanc de l'époque, la pâleur cadavérique recherchée.

The first Frankenstein franchise film without Karloff and it shows! In this episode: Jason tries to see how many times he can call Ghost of Frankenstein's plot "bonkers". William still finds plenty to like about this movie even though today's Frankenstein fans are unimpressed. See Dr. Henry Frankenstein transform from to Colin Clive to Cedric Hardwicke after he dies. The afterlife has not been kind to the not-so-good-Doctor. Can this franchise get worse? Maybe, but Bela Lugosi's Ygor is still the best! Can't kill him, can you? ------ Music by RoccoW: Welcome!

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Frankenstein Insólito, EL ESTADO CONTRA ADAM SHELLEY, de BENJAMÍN M. SCHUTZ (1991). INFORME FORENSE: Episodio más reciente: Las raíces del episodio más reciente de violencia se encuentran en una serie de cartas escritas por Adam Shelley al doctor Henry Frankenstein. Esas cartas estaban en posesión de Henry Clerval, abogado y amigo personal del doctor Frankenstein. Él mismo informó a la policía de que había aconsejado al doctor Frankenstein no responder a las cartas por considerar que se trataba de un posible trámite previo a una demanda por imprudencia profesional con resultado de daños. En esencia, las cartas (fueron tres en total) expresaban la creencia de Adam de que el doctor Frankenstein tenía para con él la obligación de «buscar y proporcionarme otras personas como yo», a fin de aliviar la soledad que sentía debido al repetido rechazo de otras personas. La segunda carta contenía vagas amenazas contra la gente en general, pero sin dar nombres. La última carta concluía con el juramento de «arruinar su vida como usted ha arruinado la mía». Tan sólo tres semanas después de haber enviado esa última carta, Adam Shelley se escapó del Centro Helms. 🖤 Este relato hace un recuento médico y policial sobre ciertos hechos en torno a Adam Shelley, un chico de catorce años que al parecer fue manipulado genéticamente por el doctor Henry Frankenstein cuando todavía estaba en el vientre de su madre.

From Universal Studios, the original house of horror, comes 1939's SON OF FRANKENSTEIN starring Basil Rathbone (THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES), Boris Karloff (FRANKENSTEIN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN) and Bela Lugosi (DRACULA, THE BLACK CAT). Rowland V. Lee takes over the director's chair from James Whale (FRANKENSTEIN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE INVISIBLE MAN) for this installment that finds Wolf von Frankenstein (Rathbone), the son of Dr. Henry Frankenstein (portrayed by Colin Clive in the first two installments), returning to the village of Frankenstein to claim his inheritance. There he meets the shepherd Ygor (Lugosi) and comes to face to face with his father's creation, played for the final time on screen by the one and only Boris Karloff. Welcome to Cozy Corner!

On this week's annotated deep dive, The Cultists present the Universal Studios Hollywood Horror Classic, 'Frankenstein' (1931). Helmed by the great James Whale, this first installment of a legacy of undying gems tells the well-known tale of Dr. Victor (or in this case "Henry") Frankenstein and his "Creation" - a life composited from scrapped together pieces of other men. A creature that begs the age old question: how many parts of a man does it take to make a monster? Well, Let's find out. Deep Dives Include: The film's history and production; comparisons (and contrasts) to Mary Shelly's 1818 source novel; the mystery of Peggy Webling's 1927 stage play (upon which this film claims to be based); all those pointed homages to German expressionist classics (from the Metropolis laboratory, to Caligari's somnambulist window entry); the cinematic editions of life-granting electricity and "criminal brains"; the historical precedent for electrocuting corpses and marrying-off orphans; a slew of sequels; and why the Igor-you-know is neither a hunchback nor a lab assistant. Episode Safeword: "vitality"
On a stormy night, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron praise Mary Shelley for her story of Frankenstein and his Monster. She reminds them that her intention for writing the novel was to impart a moral lesson, the consequences of a mortal man who tries to play God. Mary says she has more of the story to tell. The scene shifts to the end of the 1931 Frankenstein, in 1899. Villagers gathered around the burning windmill cheer the apparent death of the Monster. Hans, the father of the girl the creature drowned in the previous film, wants to see the Monster's bones. He falls into a flooded pit underneath the mill, where the Monster—having survived the fire—strangles him. Hauling himself from the pit, the Monster casts Hans' wife to her death. He next encounters Minnie, who flees in terror. The body of Henry Frankenstein, who is thought to have died at the windmill, is returned to his fiancée Elizabeth at his ancestral castle home. Henry visits the lab of his former mentor Doctor Septimus Pretorius, where Pretorius shows Henry several homunculi he has created. Pretorius wishes to work with Henry to create a mate for the Monster, with the proposed venture involving Pretorius growing an artificial brain while Henry gathers parts for the mate. That night, following the sound of a violin playing "Ave Maria," the Monster encounters an old blind hermit who thanks God for sending him a friend. He teaches the monster words like "friend" and "good" and shares a meal with him. Two lost hunters stumble upon the cottage and recognize the Monster. He attacks them and accidentally burns down the cottage as the hunters lead the hermit away. Henry and Elizabeth, now married, are visited by Pretorius. When Henry expresses his refusal to assist with Pretorius' plans, Pretorius calls in the Monster, who demands Henry's help. Henry again refuses, and Pretorius orders the Monster out, secretly signaling him to kidnap Elizabeth. Pretorius guarantees her safe return upon Henry's participation. Henry returns to his tower laboratory where, despite himself, he grows excited over his work. After being assured of Elizabeth's safety, Henry completes the Bride's body. A storm rages as final preparations are made to bring the Bride to life. Her bandage-wrapped body is raised through the roof, where electricity is harnessed from lightning to animate her. Henry and Pretorius lower her and, after realizing their success in bringing her to life, remove her bandages and help her to stand. The Monster comes down the steps after killing Karl on the rooftop and sees his mate. The excited Monster reaches out to her and asks: "Friend?" The Bride, screaming, rejects him. The dejected Monster observes: "She hate me! Like others." As Elizabeth races to Henry's side, the Monster rampages through the laboratory. When Pretorius warns that the Monster's actions are about to destroy them all, the Monster pauses and tells Henry and Elizabeth: "Go! You live! Go!" To Pretorius and the Bride, he says: "You stay. We belong dead." While Henry and Elizabeth flee, the Monster looks at the Bride, sheds a tear, and pulls a lever to trigger the laboratory and tower's destruction.

In a village of the Bavarian Alps, a young scientist named Henry Frankenstein and his assistant Fritz, a hunchback, piece together a human body. Frankenstein desires to create a human, giving this body life through electrical devices he has perfected. But he still needs a brain for his creation. Henry's fiancée Elizabeth speaks with their friend Victor Moritz about the scientist's increasingly peculiar actions and how he secludes himself. Elizabeth and Victor ask Dr. Waldman for help in understanding Henry's new behavior and Waldman reveals he is aware Dr. Frankenstein wishes to create life. Concerned for Henry, they arrive at the lab just as the scientist makes his final preparations. With a pulley system, Frankenstein and Fritz raise the operating table high in the room, moving it toward an opening at the top of the tower. The creature and Frankenstein's equipment are exposed to the lightning storm and empowered. The hand of Frankenstein's creature begins to move. The scientist triumphantly shouts, 'It's alive!'Frankenstein's Monster, despite its grotesque form, seems to be an innocent, childlike creation. Dr. Frankenstein welcomes it into his laboratory and asks his creation to sit, which it does. Thinking that it is not fit for society and will wreak havoc at any chance, they leave the Monster locked up, where Fritz antagonizes it with a torch. As Henry and Waldman consider the Monster's fate, they hear a shriek from the dungeon. Frankenstein and Waldman run down and find that the Monster has strangled Fritz. The Monster lunges at the two but they escape, locking the Monster inside. Realizing that the Monster must be destroyed, Henry prepares an injection of a powerful drug and the two conspire to release the Monster and inject it as it attacks. When the door is unlocked the Monster lunges at Frankenstein as Waldman injects the drug into the Monster's back. The Monster falls to the floor unconscious.Henry collapses from exhaustion, and Elizabeth and Henry's father arrive and take him home. Henry is worried about the Monster but Waldman reassures him that he will destroy it.With preparations for the wedding completed, Henry is serenely happy with Elizabeth. They are to marry as soon as Waldman arrives. However, Victor rushes in, saying that Doctor Waldman has been found strangled. Henry suspects the Monster. Meanwhile, the Monster enters Elizabeth's room, causing her to scream. When the searchers arrive, they find Elizabeth unconscious on the bed. The Monster has escaped.Maria's father arrives, carrying his drowned daughter's body. He says she was murdered, and the villagers form a search party to capture the Monster and bring it to justice, dead or alive. In order to search the whole country for the Monster, they split into three groups: Ludwig leads the first group into the woods, Henry leads the second group into the mountains, and the Burgomaster leads the third group by the lake. During the search, Henry becomes separated from the group and is discovered by the Monster, who attacks him. The Monster knocks Henry unconscious and carries him off to an old mill. The peasants hear his cries and they regroup to follow. They find the Monster has climbed to the top, dragging Henry with him. The Monster hurls the scientist to the ground. His fall is broken by the vanes of the windmill, saving his life. Some of the villagers hurry him to his home while the rest of the mob set the windmill ablaze, with the Monster trapped inside.At Castle Frankenstein, Frankenstein's father, Baron Frankenstein, celebrates the wedding of his recovered son with a toast to a future grandchild.

This week, Asher and Nancy jump the gun on their own timeline (once again) and hop on over to the realm of film adaptation analyses! Will James Whale's 1931 classic monster flick fare well beneath their cynical gazes? Will they cope with minor superfluous changes, such as Victor Frankenstein being rennamed Henry Frankenstein, and Henry Clerval becoming Victor Moritz?? ... Probably not. Enjoy!

After Fritz makes the fatal mistake of dropping the stolen brain, a dazzling display of light-switch-flickering brings the stuffed pajamas to life, cueing the famous lines “It’s alive! It’s alive! (Laughter) Now I know what it feels like to be God!” However, in this particular rendition the outburst is followed by the outtake “Done for today!” and the stop-signal is flashed--a fist rested firmly against the mad scientist’s cheek. What follows closely resembles, however heavily condensed, the scenario set forth by the James Whale directed, Boris Karloff version of Mary Shelly’s novel, released by Universal Pictures in 1931. The Monster’s unveiling and destruction all occur in a few short minutes, with familiar pantomime of key moments and an unfortunate injury of the junior Ullman, when as Frankenstein, he is thrown down by his creation into the corner of the kitchen counter, prompting the frantic flashing of the previously established stop-signal over the anguished ad-lib “I’m really hurt!”
Law students from Golden Gate University and University of Oregon School of Law conducted a mock hearing at San Diego Comic Fest on whether Frankenstein's Creature was legally competent to stand trial. Dr. Frankenstein also challenged the indictments against him for the deaths of three people and for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Tune in to hear their arguments, testimony from an expert witness, and the court's rulings. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thelegalgeeks)
In an episode we created with our own hands, we try to use our (criminal) brains to analyze the original Universal horror classic Frankenstein. We debate the responsibilities and motives of Henry Frankenstein, discuss the story's erasure of women from the act of creation, and point fingers at the film's true villains. Warning: Contains strong language, spoilers, and the old "disappearing cat trick."

Writer, director Joe Demuro's film was an audacious project. He took some of the most iconic figures in classic horror, who also happen to have some of the most fervent fans, reinvented their journeys and did what others have tried and failed to do, he didn't screw it up! In 2015's Tales of Dracula, Dracula, having been bested by VanHelsing, leaves England and returns to his native Carpathian mountains. Since his last bride was destroyed by VanHelsing and his vampire hunters, Dracula sets his sights on a young farmers daughter. After being attacked by the Dark Prince the girls father, with the help of the local inn keepers and a mysterious stranger, take her to a doctor who has taken up residence near town. This is the same doctor that the stranger is seeking in the hopes that he may be able to help him with a terrible malady, and hopefully before the next full moon. Doctor Henry Frankenstein is away on a research excursion, but young and brilliant Victoria Frankenstein is more than happy to help, once she realizes has a source of vampire blood! This blood injected into the monster created by her grandfather could grant the beast eternal life and untold strength! I won't go into any more detail, I think you get the idea. The word "homage" gets used a lot lately. I almost cringe when I hear any film maker use the word. Too often "homage" becomes a bad antonym for "denigrate". I was happily surprised by Tales of Dracula. Everyone involved appears to have a true affection for the classic monsters. There are shades of Hammer Studios, but I think the Universal films of the 30's and 40's are most represented. While there is humor to be found in the film, it was never insulting to the source material nor was it disparaging to the audience and the fans of the genre. No, this was one of the best examples of a film actually honoring the originals that I have seen in some time, if ever. Now, all that being said, and to be honest and fair, Tales of Dracula is not a perfect film. The visual effects are passable, but wisely kept to minimum. Some viewers who are more accustomed to the high end special effects of modern film and TV may find these a little laughable. I felt much the same way with some of the acting,.. passable. There WERE a few stand outs. Tom Delillo, as the cursed wolf man, channels Lon Chaney Jr's passion and angst, and the father-daughter inn keepers, Dwight Kemper & Cassandra Hayes, are so much fun together! Then there is Wayne W. Johnson as Dracula. That is a man who enjoyed himself. He turns that joy, with an ironic twist, and creates an evil, cold and villainous Count. I also enjoyed the snarky young adult turn about on the Dr. Frankenstein by Courtney Bennet. She easily slips between showing her affection for the the creature she grew up with and her ambivalence bordering on contempt for everyone else. There were however several side characters that brought some of the scenes down for me. I understand that a small budget film, (reportedly $20,000), can only throw their casting net so far, but I wish they could have reached out just a little further. A highlight of the film, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it, is the make-up! Put together by artist Ron Chamberlain, the make-up effects may be the true star of the film! The potential restraints of the film being in black and white could be a challenge enough, but to this movie watcher, being tasked to recreate and subtlety update the designs of Frankenstein's Monster, the wolf man and Dracula all in one film, seems a daunting task! Somehow, and with great effect, Chamberlain pulled it of with each creature bearing the resemblance of the classic monster. Wolf man takes the prize for most like the original. As much as Delillo channeled Chaney Jr., Chamberlain must have been channeling Jack Pierce. (There is even a splendid lap-dissolve transformation scene!) To the casual horror fan, this film may be a bit dull.
