Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelleys a long time ago, but James Whale was the first one to make a movie of it. (in 1931, the same year that Dracula was released.) Still now the movie 'Frankenstein' is considered to be the best horror movie of all time.
In this shocking scene we see The Monster (Boris Karloff) letting a young girl drown by accident.
The monster is played by Boris Karloff, the artistic name of William Henry Pratt, who is shown at the begin-and end credits as the actor who plays another role in the movie. So actually he plays two roles in the movie.
The Monsters looks are made by Jack Pierce.

  • I can't believe that people still just don't "get" this scene. He looks at her hands, her fingers to him are like the petals on a flower. He has no more flowers and throws her in, not in an evil way, but because he thinks that she too will float. Don't forget, he is not evil. His creator was the evil one.

  • Thumbs up if you're here because of James Rolfe

  • @Blueslyfox

    his brain is from a rotted courpse, whatd you expect?

  • Actually the EdisonStudios filmed a version of Frankenstein in 1910.

  • @TalaJenta remember somthing 2 he also probably has the mind of a 2 year old kid so he really doesnt know the meaning of life or death, living or non-living so he may as well think that everything is like a toy or is somthing that he play with so that still wouldnt b his fault because he is pretty much an innocent kid in his mind when people think & see him as just a monster :3

  • @TalaJenta he still is a dumb ass

  • what a dumb ass

  • so funny

  • Remember that the Monster was made with a criminal brain by accident. He doens't know what he's doing. He kind of has a pre-destined life: one evil deed after another and he can't help that. His creator is the one who ruined it for him. The Monster is the biggest victim of this whole story.

  • I feel terribly for that sweet little girl, but I also feel bad for Frankenstein. He didn't know what he was doing... :(

  • I guess there was no such thing as "stranger danger" in those days.

  • That little girl is pretty brave. If I saw something like that coming towards me, I would run away.
