This video is awsome! even black and white is much better at least you can see how this movies were made in color. How in the world did you make this in color.
Yes, I know the make-up was green, in order to look dead-white on screen. That is why if he is colorized, the monster skin should be dead-white- so it reflects the color the movies intended.
Similar- if someone colorized an old cheap flying saucer movie, would they purposefully colorize string that held the saucer? Of course not. That wouldn't be the image the filmmaker wanted. The strings are there not to be seen- but to bring an effect to the movie.
@younghoss Frankenstein's monster actually was green! Color home movies of Karloff during "The Son of Frankenstein" reveal that the stories about Frankenstein's monster being green because that color photographed more dead-looking in black and white were true.
I wouldn't mind seeing these Gems colorized, as long as it was done well, i could always have my original B&W versions any time I wanted to see them. Color or B&W, They would still be GREAT.
I have a copy of this ,it was recorded on the Tower label back in 1964 or there abouts, of course it didn't get much airplay even then,But enough so that I bought a copy,Those were the days of the big Monster comeback, and yes that is Really Lon Chaney Jr. Singing it. Thanks for The Post.
@BillFromEllerslie Do you even realize the fact most of the B&W versions look better then the colorized versions? I'm 17 at the time I replied to this so you know,anyway fact is they was meant to say black&white for how if you compare the same movies colorized and the Black&white version you can see how the make-up and basically hole-set up made to give the movie the desired look and affect back then, makes a colorized version seem awfull
I love B&W movies and didn't say colorized versions were better or worse.
My point is that some of us like to experience different versions of movies, especially ones that have become very familiar.
I don't like the idea of people basically bullying film companies into not trying something new with existing films. I like to watch B&W versions, colorized versions, subtitled, dubbed, director's cuts, and theatrical cuts.
@BillFromEllerslie OO I agree on experiencing movies in another way,I just kinda misunderstood your post didn't help when I read it it was 2 AM,I do like afew of them in color but some B&W films aren't suited for color just saying for example; the movie''the invisible man'' seeing as they used a type of cloth a the filming camera's would pick up on the film but it wouldn't show when played for afew reasons of the tech back then. So yaeh not real suited for colorization on that film
I'll agree with you on a few points. There is a loss of ambience when B&W is made color, epecially in films inspired by the German expessionists. The Invisible Man wouldn't look right either.
I'd still like to check it out though.
I think colorization is best served when applied to low-budget 1950's sci-fi films. Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Giant Gila Monster, and The Killer Shrews were all movies I loved seeing in color.
\\i absaloutely love the colorized clips, especially the raven and frankenstein...you know what it is great to see them all in colour. Maybe now all my friends would watch them!
What age group are you referring to on ''ignorant children of these days claim they can't sit through a black and white movie they must show it in color so they will not be forgotten. I know it's outrageous hey!'' as I'm 17 at the time this reply was made and I love Black & White movies. I don't think they should be colorized well most of them for more times then not ruin the movies
I mean the set-up and make-up to give the desired look and affect for a B&W film isn't good to show colored because of how crappy the color for the needed B&W shades well come out and showing big flaws in the affects and make-up compared to todays standers. Really somethings that shouldn't be messed with is like the Invisible Man
@arisztidoltz When They tryed to colorize the Invisible Man, who ever the fools who colorized it hadn't known about how there was a cloth with some color to made him appear invisible in the old films and they CGI'ed that cloth out for the film to be colorized which was easy to note what they did by how the difference was on the hole movie blightness and then the Invisible man was brighter
Normally, I would agree with that statement 100% but I think they (Universal Studios) should make a 2 disc blu ray set of each movie and make it in B&W and color.
Frankenstein's creature was suppose to be yellow? Didn't you read the original Mary Shell's Frankenstein? Lol, jk, yeah. I thought the old costume was yellow though?

The colorization is on the whole marvelous. The only dodgy bit is the Wolf Man; he looks like one of those rubber Wolf Man masks with no real hair.

These movies belong in black and white.

I thought this colorizing was excellent!
Other than doing Frankenstein's monster green, it was wonderful.
Would love to see more more more

The bit with Count Dracula on the coach was gorgeous! I'd love to see the entire movie colored that well along with the Creature Trilogy.
Outstanding! Thank you for taking the time to do such meticulous work then share it with Classic Monster Fans everywhere. :)
