Did you know? The 1st adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein wasn't the 1931 James Whale film starring Boris Karloff— it was a 14-minute short film from 1910, produced by Edison Studios and directed by J. Searle Dawley, and starring Charles Stanton Ogle as the Monster. Dawley shot the film in three to four days at Edison Studios in the Bronx, NYC. The production was deliberately designed to de-emphasise the horrific aspects of the story and focus on the story's mystical and psychological elements: "In making the film the Edison Co. has carefully tried to eliminate all actual repulsive situations and to concentrate its endeavours upon the mystic and psychological problems that are to be found in this weird tale. Whenever, therefore, the film differs from the original story it is purely with the idea of elimination of what would be repulsive to a moving picture audience." 💀 #Horror #Frankenstein #HorrorMovies #1910 #MaryShelley #EdisonStudios #ShortFilm #HorrorFan #InstaHorror #FrankensteinsMonster #
