- Summary:
- Edison "Biograph" 1910 cinematic release of the first screen version of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel. This is one of the only Frankenstein films where the monster is truly created. All Frankenstein films that followed assembled body parts from various corpses to make the monster. In this film, Frankenstein uses chemicals and "potions" to create the monster. The "creation" scene was made by filming a monster-dummy burning, and then playing the footage backwards.
