Frankenstein (1931) (2)
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Oct 30, 2013
It seems that given enough time in our culture, you seem to know the story of Frankenstein before you see any of the movies or read Mary Shelley’s classic novel: mad scientist creates monster, horror ensues. Between Halloween novelties, The Munsters and countless parodies, there seems to be an acce read more
Hammer Horror Blogathon: Curse Of Frankenstein
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Oct 21, 2013
This week as part of Classic Film & TV Cafe‘s Hammer Horror Blogathon, it is my ghoulish delight to review for you the 1957 Hammer Films classic, The Curse of Frankenstein. The 1950s were a fertile period for B Horror; America had William Castle and a young upstart named Roger Corman, and read more
Lon Chaney, Jr. as FRANKENSTEIN on “Tales of Tomorrow”
How Sweet It Was Posted by Aurora on Oct 5, 2013
Tales of Tomorrow is a science fiction American anthology series that was performed and broadcast live on ABC from 1951 to 1953. The show’s run is not impressive due to a variety of factors, not the least of which is that ABC was the least popular network at the time and the show was often r read more
31 Days of Halloween – 001: Edison’s Frankenstein (1910)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 1, 2013
Yep, it’s October which means it’s time for the usual countdown to All Hallows Eve. This year, rather than trying to do a full 31 film reviews or something truly time-consuming like that, most of what I’m going to be posting are favorite trailers, short films, some full-length movi read more

Frankenstein (1910)
Once Upon a Screen Posted by Aurora on Oct 1, 2013
Once Upon a Screen is unofficially dedicating the month of October to Frankenstein’s Monster. Not only does The Monster remain among the most popular characters in media almost two centuries after Mary Shelley created him, but I also happen to be very fond of the brute. A full-fledged tribut read more
THE MANY LIVES OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FRANKENSTEIN
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Aug 31, 2013
“Its clearer..its clearer” was the cry as I turned around to face the people in the tower. I resist calling this post the ‘Curse of Frankenstein” simply because it is not a curse at for people that love film. I speak of the Bluray edition of FRANKENSTEIN (1931) which has now read more

Happy Frankenstein Day!
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Annmarie Gatti on Aug 30, 2013
Frankenstein Author, Mary Shelley, was Born Today, August 30, in 1797!
Hard to believe, but Mary Shelley started writing her classic novel, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” when she was only 19 years old, publishing it at age 21 on January 1, 1818 — almost 200 years ago! read more
Classic Films in Focus: HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1944)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Aug 26, 2013
Plenty of the later Universal horror movies pack in the monsters, but House of Frankenstein (1944) really outdoes the rest by jamming a whole madhouse of familiar players into its many roles, not only as the headlining creatures but also as supporting characters. The story is so convoluted and episo read more

Frankenstein (1952, Don Medford)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 18, 2013
For a twenty minute and change live performance, Frankenstein could be a lot worse. Director Medford occasionally will find a good shot. Mary Alice Moore (as Elizabeth) is real good at the beginning and competent, if not quite good, at the end. Medford showcases her during her best parts. As the ma read more
The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942, Erle C. Kenton)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 13, 2013
The Ghost of Frankenstein is pretty bad stuff. Running less than seventy minutes, it’s unbearably boring from the twenty-five minute mark, once the picture focus on Cedric Hardwicke. Ghost opens with villagers pursuing Bela Lugosi’s evil hunchback. Though awful, Lugosi’s at least read more

Flickers in Time Posted by Beatrice on May 1, 2013
The Bride of Frankenstein Directed by James Whale 1934/USA Universal Pictures Repeated viewing #92 of 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die Neither Frankenstein nor his Monster were killed at the end of Frankenstein. The Monster is only looking for a friend but meets with terror everywhere read more
Frankenstein (1931, James Whale), the digest version
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 26, 2013
The eight millimeter digest version of Frankenstein removes all but three main characters. Colin Clive gets the most time, though loses all subplots and character, with Boris Karloff probably coming in second. It’s odd to watch Frankenstein and have the monster make so little impression but i read more
Frankenstein (1931) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 1, 2013
I’m taking a class on American horror films, so don’t be surprised to see a spate of horror movie reviews randomly crop up throughout the next few months. Expect said reviews to be fairly short, as I’ll be writing them immediately after class. My first day saw us watching read more
Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) on the big screen
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Oct 31, 2012
Last Wednesday I got the chance to see Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) on the big screen courtesy of TCM and NCM Fathom Events. I had never seen these films and it was a treat for Halloween that's for sure.
Before the films were screened, there was an intro with Robert Osbo read more
