@Ghostgirl777 The car chase, the angst-ridden teenagers, and the 'it's alive' were all added by the screenwriter. Hollywood, what can you say? It sells.
A true pity the film is such a poor adaptation of the book, a true work of genius.
1-Victor Frankenstein is not mad, he was obsessed with the idea of creating life from death, and he fled in horror after seeing what he had created, he didn't scream in a maddened joy! And he was alone at that time!
@ProyectMooneJazzers School seems to start earlier every year - or are kids putting off winter recess reading longer and longer?
Why are you harping on the movie? If James Whale wanted to make a turgid, repressed, Victorian movie out of a turgid, repressed, Victorian book he would have worked in TV. It's a monster movie, ferchrissakes. Grow up.
@sciencemonster I see you have an obsession with kids, by looking at your comment, I can see your a 40 year old virgin without a wife.
It is true that the book is way much different to the movie, I have seen the movie, and I have read the book. If you cannot communicate like a human, and answer propoerly to people who have questions about this movie then I suggest you fuck off from youtube and go live on in your basement. Foreveralone, bloody idiot.
@cherdilboy Ah, yes, I have an obsession with kids. That is why when school starts and I get my reading assignment, I hunt YouTube for my frankenstein trailer and make inane comments.
I brought up _my_ children to appreciate all kinds of culture, but especially fine old classic monster movies, and not to disparage other people's culture. Why, I even sent one of my boys to the Netherlands for the summer when he was 14. He brought back soap in the shape of a penis. How lovely Amsterdam must be!
A thrilling motion picture with a creative and unforgettable story that has been with us for decades, with a good choice of acting with great special effects
This trailer was made a few years after the film's release. Horror cinema had dried up (partially thanks to us Brits banning them!) and things were not looking good for the Universal lot. Then some fleapit began running a triple bill of 'Frankenstein', 'Dracula' and 'Son of Kong' which became the talk of tinseltown due to it's popularity and so Universal quickly rushed out their own double bill and made this ad to promote it.
@krismucus Hollywood, also, had a defacto ban on horror movies. The early 30s had many 'precode' horror movies and regular movies with nude scenes - Tarzan and His Mate is my favorite...Hollywood self censorship cracked down on that in '35 or 36, and no monster movies (practically) were made until things loosened up in 1939.
@sciencemonster I did say 'partially'!! Anyway, that said, censorship wasn't completely to blame in the case of 30's horror. The studios were far more 'make-or-break' back then. Due to the UK ban ( a lucrative market apparently), Hollywood began to shy away from such movies.
@sciencemonster ...oh, and what I meant to say in my earlier post (memory like a....whatsitcalled thing with holes in?!), was that I just wanted to note that this was the later trailer. Whether or not there is an earlier trailer out there, I dunno. Haven't looked TBH. Still, one of my personal favourites....:)
This is so crap, this film has nothing to do with Mary Shelly's novel, why is Frankenstein called Clerval? Why is the creature called Frankenstein? Why did the creature throw a girl into a lake? This film is completely wrong- iconic and funny still
@narutofan9tf I don't understand - are you trying to be ironic, or do you just wnat to convince people you are a moron? You're in high school, right? Why do you want to put all this on the table for all to see? Do you realize that on the internet, everyone can read this, even later, when. like, you aren't a freshman anymore?
I have to read this for freshman year... I hate it D: I'm about halfway through and it got a little better but... that doesnt say much from where it started, ._.
@sciencemonster . Actually it wasn't O'Sullivan doing that nude swim it was a body double. In fact Maureen O'sullivan couldn't swim a stroke at the time and in the scenes where she is on the surface she is being supported in the water by Weissmuller. Still its the best Tarzan movie ever made.
Please check out the Trailer for "Weekend at the Cabin" and Purchase your own copy or rent it today. Help support your Indie Artist. Tell a friend. Have a great day.
Still the best version of FRANKENSTEIN ever made, and I've seen all the ones worth seeing. None of them beat the creepy atmosphere James Whale captured in 1931. Boris Karloff's amazing performance and iconic make-up set the standard. No slick CGI effects can compare with the raw, hands on craftsmanship this movie puts over. Everything about it has an organic quality that just can't be duplicated digitally.
one of the best classic horror movies ever. movies from back in those times are not scary by todays movie standards and you could clearly tell the actors were speaking lines, but today it takes just 2 things to make a horror movie. the word fuck, and some guts. the old ones had more class.
Same reason you exist - take up some time with mindless entertainment. Same misshapen monster without a clue, same sad burnout ending...somehow, though, the movie is poignant and you just come out pathetic. I guess that's the difference between art and life.
@sciencemonster Was surely good back in the days but seriously, I get headache by watching this black and white quality. I know there have been remakes of this, have you seen them?
@sciencemonster It's old, but that was one of the best come backs I've ever read on the internet. Well done, very well done. You get +2 Internets for that.

@ShaxAMV - I believe they wouldn't be scared at all. They would be dumbfounded and confused - it would all go by too fast and disjointed. They wouldn't get it.
You youngsters took a lot of conditioning and training by TV to get where you are today. You were carefully manipulated to where a movie can pull this string to make you jump that way.
@sciencemonster Well I think I speak for most people when I say this movie wouldn't freighten the generation of today. I don't think we have to be brainfarmed from telivision to make us act of feel a certain way, it's just basic human instinct to react to something in a certain way. I don't believe these classics are 'scary', maybe they're more intricate then SOME of the films of these days but can't be more scarier. Eh just my opinion.
@ShaxAMV I didn't express myself very well - I'm speaking to technique, not quality or scariness. Each time has it's way of communicating and that changes over time.Who knows what Shakespeare is talking about these days without an encyclopedia or an English teacher?
It's backwards compatible-we get Frankenstein, and to some extent Shakespeare. But take a modern horror movie back in time, and they wouldn't get it. Too confusing. Too jumpy. They won't get the techniques used to communicate.
@ShaxAMV This movie isn't just about being "frightened" by the obvious actor with a flat head, neck bolts and big boots. The real "monster" in this film is Henry Frankenstein. He disregards the rights of others---he digs up a grave not a few minutes after mourners leave---then he creates this Thing and allows his assistant to put a torch in its face. He doesn't protect his own "Child" and the Child kills those who would destroy him---Fritz and Dr. Waldman. The Monster isn't "The Monster."
@ShaxAMV I agree with you. If if past audiences didn't understand our way of filming movies, it would no doubt be more frightening. Not sure how anyone can argue with that. Not jsut horrow films, but thrillers like silince of the lambs as well. People of the past aren't retarded, they would understand a film for what it is even if it was unconventional to them. Even if they couldn't, the images would certainly have an affect.
This movie always made me cry. Frankenstein was a victim. He was different. This is a story of lonliness, and bigotry. About how hard it is to be different. Judging by appearences.
Why do all the newer Frankenstein movies make Frankenstein look so bad looking compared to the Universal version? Why can't Universal even remake the Frankenstein movies and other creatures? It's probably because horror movies don't make a lot of money, but if it were Frankenstein, I think people would see it during Halloween instead of sometime like in January. I hate when they have well known horror movies come out in February.
@Twister6900 That is good to hear, i thought me and my buddy was the only teen who liked this stuff. I got to say, this is the best years of horror! I still like modern horror but NOTHING beats the older stuff.
@mickihotchick Actually, Boris Karloff was one of the most renowned ladies man in Hollywood. He was all about the girls. They couldn't keep their hands off him.
@mickihotchick ....sorry dude, but Karloff was one of the most riveting figures ever on the screen.....one of the few actors who continued to act even if he was in the background.......just watch him in Bedlam or The Ghoul.......the guy was a Master at his craft!
what the hell is so scary about Frankenstein? I feel sorry for the poor b*astard, how the hell can he help it if irrational females scream uncontrollably!
@kingman1245 If you want to see copped feels, see 1936's Dracula's Daughter. The vampiress cops a feel off her first female victim. It's totally obvious, don't know how it made it past the censors.
@sciencemonster Yeah, it took the censors a while to get their stuff together back then. I don't know if you've ever seen Tarzan and His Mate (1934), but in that you get to see a very nude (and very hot) Maureen O'Sullivan swimming around.
@smokenfly514 I do believe that while it was the professor's name and not the monster's, it was actually given the name of Adam. It's somewhere in the book if my memory is correct.
When I read the Merry Shelly's book, I imagined it differently... The monster is supposed to be good and sensitive, but after being unjustly scorned, it becomes bad...and it is only because of his ugly appearance. Which movie would you recommend to be close to the book?
The second movie, Bride of Frankenstein, actually incorporates a few more themes from the book - as well as the Directors unique sense of black comedy. It is a completely different kind of movie. I highly recommmend you watch both. For something more true to the book, you would have to watch something made recently - I couldn't suggest anything as I don't really watch new movies.
@namitarelalia No movie really captures the book well. The branagh version with deniro tries but is totally laughable. Bride of Frankenstein might be the closest. I read the original 1818 version and it gets pretty deep, the story is more about social constructs forming our behavoir. The creature was good, and intelligent, but because his appearance was abandoned and scorned, even by his creator/father. Interesting book for sure.
The poor creature is an awkward man child. He only reacts to the way he is treated by others. He gets abused by Fritz; and that is what set him off. Henry Frankenstein was a neglectful creator.
wow... you really just called me a wanker... over the internet... and because i said that this movie was off the novel a lot. that's a really cool thing to do. and i could have been playing guitar or writing music anyways
Yes, judging a great movie by a great director by a two minute trailer - I think that qualifies you as a wanker. Judging a movie as a 'filmation' of a novel, and judging that filmization by a two minute trailer...well...yes, you are a wanker. I hope you make more considered judgements of your music.
... i was talking about how in the novel there is no "it's alive" scene. victor isn't happy and he creates the monster by himself. and it isn't too good of a movie either. maybe i just don't like old movies because i like better effects or maybe because i have never read a book then watched the movie to the book. and all i was saying at first was that the movie was off from the novel not saying it was bad. but the 94 Frankenstein was the most accurate so just chill out. it's an opinion
Yes, some artists decide to take a work of art and riff of it to create something new and different. It's good that you noticed that. It's too bad that you then decided to male a judgement based on that knowledge, instead of maybe expanding your experience to include moving pictures that aren't in color, and aren't made in the same time you are from,
I know this may be really hard for you to conceptualize, but some old things are cool, too.
First saw this in 1964 when I was 10 years old. Karloff stole the show and scared the "shite" out of me (I literally shook in bed most of the night). And he STILL give me the creeps. My wife (39 years old and from a different generation than I) finds the movie and the monster "amusing". Go figure.
I wouldnt' say "Go Figure" dude, I'm 22yeaqrs old, my girlfiend keisha is 19 and we love the universal classic horror filmsL. You just married a lady with no taste in movies hahaha NO Offense dude
kdog, you and i are from the same generation. i was born in late '52 and it when i was around 4 in 1956. i was so scared i was crying and couldn't sleep. this was the effect of the movie some 25 years after it was made. it was a combination of knowing the monster was created from dead body parts and resurrected by a mad scientist for an insane experiment. even a child can understand that the monster had a ''criminal'' brain instead of a normal one. this made for a scary movie, old style.
i think you misunderstood me. i'm just a scary and classic horror movie buff.
''frankenstein'' was a masterpiece and cutting edge for it's time. while it may have varied a lot from the original plot by mary shelley, the hollywood version as great for what it did to audiences at the time....scare the bojabbers out of them. in fact, it was so 'cutting edge' some scenes may have been partially deleted for general release. it made an obscure english actor by the name of karloff an instant star.
I understand what you mean. However I think you misunderstood what I meant as well. I mean I laughed at the sick dimension of the act not because it was 'cheesy-looking'. I have a morbid sense of humor, sometimes it sickens even myself.
Hey I think when he says...Its Alive...Its Alive. HE looks up and says.."now I know what its like to be god" or something like that and I think they took that part out cus they thought it was a Blasphemy type thing...watch his lips if You see the movie after he says its alive...his lips keep moving
You're right I saw that version on Svengouli, a character here in the Chicago area who shows monster movies every saturday night, he explained that Universal thought that line would of offended people of the day when the movie first came out, the version he showed had that line in it.
I love this film. They don't make them like they use too. Twilight? come on are you kidding me? I guess some ppl don't know a awesome classic horror film, even if it came and pimp slap them on there face Ha!!
It's wrong how the narriator says Frankenstein, you have to say the a in frankenstein like an a in Darth Vader (like in the Darth) and not like in apple^^
I miss movies like these.

Boris Karloff.. arguably the ugiest man in history.. what a great movie!
mickihotchick 1 year ago
@mickihotchick Actually, Boris Karloff was one of the most renowned ladies man in Hollywood. He was all about the girls. They couldn't keep their hands off him.
It's all abou tthe attitude, dude.
sciencemonster 1 year ago 14
@mickihotchick ....sorry dude, but Karloff was one of the most riveting figures ever on the screen.....one of the few actors who continued to act even if he was in the background.......just watch him in Bedlam or The Ghoul.......the guy was a Master at his craft!

@kingman1245 If you want to see copped feels, see 1936's Dracula's Daughter. The vampiress cops a feel off her first female victim. It's totally obvious, don't know how it made it past the censors.
sciencemonster 1 year ago
@sciencemonster Yeah, it took the censors a while to get their stuff together back then. I don't know if you've ever seen Tarzan and His Mate (1934), but in that you get to see a very nude (and very hot) Maureen O'Sullivan swimming around.

@smokenfly514 I do believe that while it was the professor's name and not the monster's, it was actually given the name of Adam. It's somewhere in the book if my memory is correct.

When I read the Merry Shelly's book, I imagined it differently... The monster is supposed to be good and sensitive, but after being unjustly scorned, it becomes bad...and it is only because of his ugly appearance. Which movie would you recommend to be close to the book?
namitarelalia 2 years ago
The second movie, Bride of Frankenstein, actually incorporates a few more themes from the book - as well as the Directors unique sense of black comedy. It is a completely different kind of movie. I highly recommmend you watch both. For something more true to the book, you would have to watch something made recently - I couldn't suggest anything as I don't really watch new movies.
sciencemonster 2 years ago
ok thank you very much! you help me a lot
namitarelalia 2 years ago
@namitarelalia No movie really captures the book well. The branagh version with deniro tries but is totally laughable. Bride of Frankenstein might be the closest. I read the original 1818 version and it gets pretty deep, the story is more about social constructs forming our behavoir. The creature was good, and intelligent, but because his appearance was abandoned and scorned, even by his creator/father. Interesting book for sure.

The poor creature is an awkward man child. He only reacts to the way he is treated by others. He gets abused by Fritz; and that is what set him off. Henry Frankenstein was a neglectful creator.

Wanker.
sciencemonster 2 years ago
Whoops - I deleted your comment by accident:
wow... you really just called me a wanker... over the internet... and because i said that this movie was off the novel a lot. that's a really cool thing to do. and i could have been playing guitar or writing music anyways
sciencemonster 2 years ago
Yes, judging a great movie by a great director by a two minute trailer - I think that qualifies you as a wanker. Judging a movie as a 'filmation' of a novel, and judging that filmization by a two minute trailer...well...yes, you are a wanker. I hope you make more considered judgements of your music.
sciencemonster 2 years ago
... i was talking about how in the novel there is no "it's alive" scene. victor isn't happy and he creates the monster by himself. and it isn't too good of a movie either. maybe i just don't like old movies because i like better effects or maybe because i have never read a book then watched the movie to the book. and all i was saying at first was that the movie was off from the novel not saying it was bad. but the 94 Frankenstein was the most accurate so just chill out. it's an opinion
guitarkid1124 2 years ago
Yes, some artists decide to take a work of art and riff of it to create something new and different. It's good that you noticed that. It's too bad that you then decided to male a judgement based on that knowledge, instead of maybe expanding your experience to include moving pictures that aren't in color, and aren't made in the same time you are from,
I know this may be really hard for you to conceptualize, but some old things are cool, too.

First saw this in 1964 when I was 10 years old. Karloff stole the show and scared the "shite" out of me (I literally shook in bed most of the night). And he STILL give me the creeps. My wife (39 years old and from a different generation than I) finds the movie and the monster "amusing". Go figure.

Jeffzkrazie 2 years ago 12
kdog, you and i are from the same generation. i was born in late '52 and it when i was around 4 in 1956. i was so scared i was crying and couldn't sleep. this was the effect of the movie some 25 years after it was made. it was a combination of knowing the monster was created from dead body parts and resurrected by a mad scientist for an insane experiment. even a child can understand that the monster had a ''criminal'' brain instead of a normal one. this made for a scary movie, old style.

i think you misunderstood me. i'm just a scary and classic horror movie buff.
''frankenstein'' was a masterpiece and cutting edge for it's time. while it may have varied a lot from the original plot by mary shelley, the hollywood version as great for what it did to audiences at the time....scare the bojabbers out of them. in fact, it was so 'cutting edge' some scenes may have been partially deleted for general release. it made an obscure english actor by the name of karloff an instant star.
dale1966gto 2 years ago
I understand what you mean. However I think you misunderstood what I meant as well. I mean I laughed at the sick dimension of the act not because it was 'cheesy-looking'. I have a morbid sense of humor, sometimes it sickens even myself.

You're right I saw that version on Svengouli, a character here in the Chicago area who shows monster movies every saturday night, he explained that Universal thought that line would of offended people of the day when the movie first came out, the version he showed had that line in it.
