Interesting fact The filmmakers were afraid that the little girl would be afraid of Boriss in makeup. Turns out she was quite taken with him and, in fact requested to ride to the shooting location with him.
Both animals & children adored Boris. A friend of his invited him to a houseparty, warning her staff not to tell her little girl who he was, as she was afraid the child would be frightened. She got busy with her preparations, & Boris arrived unannounced. When she finally went looking for her daughter, she found her settled on Boris's lap, while he read to her. Later, she cautiously asked the child, "Did you like Mr. Karloff?" The little girl explained, "Oh, yes! And it's not just because he's so beautiful!" 📚 Other friends had a huge German shepherd, which was so savage that it would scarcely let anyone outside of the family into the house. When Boris visited, it spent the whole time with its head in his lap, while he skritched behind its ears. After Boris had died, the dog's mom heard him raising an awful commotion in the living room one day. When she walked in to see what was wrong, she found that the television had been left on, & an old movie of Boris's was playing. The dog was going frantic trying to break into the cabinet to get to his old friend. 📺 Check out his (grown-up) friend Cynthia Lindsay's book, Dear Boris, for many other such anecdotes! ☕
@@asiannoddles it wouldn't it make sense to put drowned in the quote because James didn't say drowned he said killed and nowadays movies do seem afraid to kill kids

@@hypnodance yes, Boris Karloff is a legend, as well as Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr and Jr, Elsa Lanchester, and Claude Rains. I love this channel the way it is, but it needs more monster representation.

*Puts on nerdy glasses and sniffs* Actually, Frankenstein did have a friend character in the original book. His name was Clerval and most adaptations tend to cut him out. In this case, they just changed his name.
@Ashie Studios *runs hand through hair, looks smug, and puts hand around cheerleader* What are you gunna do about it, huh nerd? Look white group of friends and the one black kid so I can say I’m not racist ashies got a boyfriend
Fun Fact: my great grandfather used to paint sets in movies and did a little work in this movie. A few years after, he died from the unsafe chemicals that used to be in paints.
@@FunkyChicken Tbh Some paints look better in black and white,lets Say pink looks better,so many times they painted set on these colors even though movie was in black and white.(Example: The Addams family TV series.Their whole house was pink)
I argue that calling the Monster Frankenstein is accurate. In a way, since Victor created him, Adam (the Monster's name) is his son, thus a Frankenstein.
Yeah, that is true. Especially since it's about as accurate as calling Victor by his last name. In the books especially the monster is basically born a baby in a hulking, adult body who can't speak and doesn't know much about the world around it. It's basically Victor's child, like you said and calling it Frankenstein would be like using it's last name, like how we do with Victor
I think the problem with referring to the monster as “Frankenstein” is that it ruins the distinction and similarities between Victor himself and the monster, which is something I’d assume the book elaborates upon extensively.
The monster is the most misunderstood horror movie “villain.” Mary Shelley does a good job in having on examine their ideas and it’s a great philosophical book. One of the biggest questions of the book is “Who is the real monster?” The monster could have been a normal (though he’s actually quite smart and philosophical) person but the disgust and fear others have towards the Monster infuriate him. The story comes out to you realizing that the true monster of the story was Frankenstein himself and humanity as a whole. ALSO FUN FACT: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is actually considered one of the first science fiction books. (Don’t come for me though because I haven’t fully read Frankenstein but I have done a presentation on it and did some research)
His appearance being ugly is also debatable, as we only get described what he looks like by people who are afraid and repulsed by him. Victor Frankenstein even says he build the creature out of the most beautiful parts he could find. Fascinatingly, people have different views on what he must’ve looked like based on their views on the book. I heavily emphasise with his feelings of loneliness and frustration, and therefore view him as just a really tall guy with weirdly coloured skin and scars all over. To me, he’s just another person who got dealt a shitty hand. But I also know people who do imagine him looking like a monster, because they view him AS a monster because of his actions later in the book. Idk I’ve always thought the interpretation of his appearance has been interesting.
You’re right about the whole thing since I read the book and studied it for a project. I’m glad this is movie got Elizabeth’s hair color right! Every other movie make her brunette
The scene with the little girl is my favorite horror movie scene of all time. It’s so tragic because he doesn’t even truly understand what he’s capable of, doesn’t truly understand death, and kills the first and only friend he has. It wasn’t a murder. It was an accident. And a tragedy for both characters and the father. To me this movie isn’t a horror film, but a tragedy in which the monster is a victim
@@modernsisyphus OOH I need to read the book! That's such an interesting choice for the screenwriter to make. I'm not sure which I like more! It think the movie scene because he's already faced people hurting them, so adds another layer to his character! But that also shows his humanity and that he cares for others due to the fact that he saves her, and then gets harmed for doing the right thing. Thanks for the info! That's one of the beauties of the horror genre. It helps us dive into the human condition and learn more about ourselves through "monsters"
I love how this movie defined Frankenstein's monster as a subhuman with little to none intellectual properties, while the original monster was actually quite intelligent and had philosophical discussions of what it means to be alive to his creator
Yeah I didn't really like that about this film. The director of this film made him sound inarticulate and dim-witted, but the look is definitely iconic to say the least.
I think the sequel redeems it though. It’s a unique take. In the book he’s intelligent but sadistic, in the movie he’s dumb but innocent. He’s less a monster and more a baby in the body of a gorilla.
He was like''She has the cutest kitty OHHH MAHH GAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!11!!1!'' That cat has super powers and knew something bad was gonna happen so he teleported away.
Frankenstein (1931) ------------------------- Director: James Whale ------------------------- Producer: Carl Laemmle Jr. ------------------------- Writers: Francis Edward Faragoh, Garrett Fort, Robert Florey, John Russell ------------------------- Starring: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Boris Karloff, Edward Van Sloan, Frederick Kerr, Dwight Frye, Lionel Belmore, Marilyn Harris, Michael Mark ------------------------- Composer: Bernhard Kaun ------------------------- Cinematographer: Arthur Edeson ------------------------- Editors: Clarence Kolster, Maurice Pivar ------------------------- Distributor: Universal Pictures ------------------------- Release Date: November 21st, 1931 ------------------------- Budget: $262,007 ------------------------- Box Office: $12 million
I think Frankenstein's Monster didn't have any bad intentions. Like with Maria he just wanted to be friends there was no way he knew that she would drown, he killed Fritz because he was bullying him, I don't know if why he killed that other dude but still. He's one of the nicer horror movie villains that didn't have any bad intentions.
Scombs#1MJFan :3 As much as we would like to think that, keep in mind that Frankenstein’s brain is one of a criminal, possibly a killer. Though, I would agree that kill with Fritz was simply self-defense as he was getting harassed, the kill with the others were unnecessary, especially with the little girl(honestly, how can you not distinguish a flower from a little girl ;-;)
Orlando Martinez I didn't know the movie had him with a criminal brain but it feels kind of disgusting when you think about the book, the monster and its rage was a product of the disgust people had at him, not because he was violent inherently.
Oh, I see! When Henry uses other people’s body parts, he’s “An ingenious scientist” and “Causing a miracle”, but when I do it, I’m “A psychopath” and “Should step away from the operation table”.
The scariest thing about Frankenstein is that when the book was written they had just figured out that running currents through the muscle tissue of dead things could make them twitch and move again so to Shelly this wasn’t some far off theory most people actually believed that in the near scientific future they would actually be able to bring people back to life like this
How da fook can you bring a dead cell back to live just by passing electricity?? We are not even able to observe a living cell under an electronic microscope....
We have figured out you cannot bring people back to life but at the time when the book was written it was the belief that it could happen as they had just discovered that if you run electricity though dead tissue if it’s fresh enough it will still move such as the famous experiment with frog legs to Mary schelly this wasn’t far fetched
@@swarupchakraborty6291 First of all, It's called an Electron Microscope not an "Electronic Microscope", and what the hell does that have to do with not being able to bring cells back to life with electricity? Secondly, they didn't say you could bring back a dead cell with electricity because that's not even how bringing things back to life works you moron. Have you ever heard of a thing called a Defibrillator? You know, when you doctors bring you back from cardiac arrest (Which is basically death) using an electric shock?? The electric shock literally recharges your cardiovascular system and gets it pumping again. Your brain waves are electric charges. If you could get those brain waves moving again, then you could make the body functioning again. It's like recharging a battery.
Lost media is so fascinating and i can’t believe that such an iconic movie has some bit of lost media (even if it were found). I love this killcount, it is your most informative yet
Same here! I think I've read too much Beastars fanfiction and listened to too much James McMurtry that I've started having visions of Richard Watterson as a wad of dough singing "I'm a Bun". help
I love that the practical/makeup effects artists almost always get a shout out or props of some kind. I love practical effects (that's my dream job) and it seems that they can be underappreciated sometimes, but not on this channel! :)
Lots of people don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve when they're the people who help make movies as good as they are - I also think stunt performers fall under this category. I try to shout them out and give credit whenever I can!
Frankenstein was actually described as a beautiful in the book--it was just his eyes that were unsettling. He wanted to learn what it was like to be human, so he eventually wanted a wife, but never got one due to his creator rejecting the demand.
welllll fun fact imma junior and we are reading frankenstein right now in english. Im talking the original by Mary Shelley and Victor was fucking terrified
WHAT DID YOU SAY! FRANKENSTEIN ISN'T THE MONSTER I personally call him Adam because of what he said in the book about wanting to be called Adam or something
I feel like no one I know watches these for the “counting” of the kills. It’s for the awesome behind the scenes facts and the amazing script writing James does for each episode. I’m particularly fond of the subtle and not so subtle music references in just about every video.
@@fishincheap1102 may be defended from the word seeing as Americans mispronounce any language it became burgermiester then someone continues down that rabbit hole
Classic Universal Monster movies are absolutely Halloween movies! This time of year probably has the most showings by far of classic horror, so this is perfect timing. Plus they're SPOOKAY. *air horn*
tastysandwhich I think he’s talking about how you capitalised Classic Universal Monsters, and the unfortunate implications of that, not an acronym directly in your comment
I find it odd how this little girl character isn’t terrified of the monster. Kind of like how kids can see Casper as just a ghost who wants to make friends. Or maybe like how nobody questions walking talking bears in the _Care Bears_ movies.
He wasn’t beautiful, he was intended to be but once animated his yellowed skin, black lips etc are horrifying to victor. He is, however, crazy smart and kind and driven to insane rage by his ostracism at every turn.
Any parent is going to think their creation is "beautiful" at first. Later on he's described as an ogre, creature, fiend, ugly, monster, ugly wretch and a hideous creation.
So fun fact! The man named Victor in this is probably meant to be a stand in for the book's childhood best friend, one Henry Clerval.... so they just swapped their names for some reason
Many people have often confused the name "Frankenstein" as the name of the Monster when it has actually always been the Doctor's name. Those who are aware that Frankenstein is NOT the name of the monster also like to claim that the Monster never had a name. However, the Monster actually DID have a name. His name was Oogie-Loogie!
Frankenstein's Monster is definitely one of the most tragic characters in all of horror. From the screams of fear in the windmill, to the limited vocabulary, and the genuinely terrified reaction of little Maria's death, it's hard not to feel for this truly iconic character.
You wanna feel even more smart? Well here you go The reason Mary Shelley was listed as mrs Percy b Shelley is because that’s her husband, romantic(of the romantic era, not the Valentine’s Day stuff) poet Percy blouse shelley
This episode should also be called "Fact Count" cause I'm learning more stuff than I did in high school and I'm only 6 minutes in, great job Prof. James A. Janisse!!
'Now I know what it feels like to be God!' That line is frikkin' terrifying, from an existential perspective but also there are VERY few humans I know who would make good 'gods'...
You should make a new show, kinda like you started Cut Comparison, about the history of the monster. It would be really fun watching you talk about any horror villain, and you could even start with Frankenstein.
@@legendsnest1261 Relax kid it's a content suggestion. James loves making videos, that's why it's his job. Just because he's busy now doesn't mean he wants to make the same show forever without adding some variety to his brand.
Me "I can't believe he's going to count the monster's death." James "Don't you want to see the cute little monster icon?" Me "I Do! That Monster's dead as hell!"
I know the Kill Count content will slow down after Halloween, but I wanted to thank you for putting in all this work! I love watching these because I get to learn more about the movies in the genre, so this is a real treat for me! Thank you!
There is a 30 second moment there where he speaks in nothing but references, but it blends so perfectly that if you don't know the references, you just think he's stating a very well constructed sentence. This man is a national treasure
Mate you’re an absolute legend - you care about your audience and always give us what we want. Your content is always top qual as well. Thanks James and keep it up
It was likely just a way for the moviemakers to tip their hat at book readers, because they would be the only ones who would care or notice the change.
My mum gets pissed whenever I call Frankenstein's Monster "Frankenstein's Monster". She tells me to call him Frankenstein's creature, because he's not a monster. She has a point though.
Megashark 101 Wait what point does she have? The dictionary definition of a “monster” is “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.” Frankenstein’s monster is all of those things.
Because in the actual book, Frankenstein's Monster wasn't that bad. He was raised very poorly by Victor, and was treated badly by pretty much everyone he met. Oh, and also, he is never once referred to as a monster, or Frankenstein's Monster in the book. He's always called "the creature".
Hey man, I dont know if you still read comments on your old videos, especially videos this old, but I thought it would be cool if you did a Kill Count for Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Millers version of Frankenstein, which was recorded by the national theatre and is currently if fleetingly available on youtube. It is a far more tragic rendition with some phenomenal acting. I realise its not a movie, but rather a play, but it is still an incredible watch that I think you'll really enjoy.
The bit with the little girl and Frankenstein's monster is actually very similar to a scene in the Escape from Bizarro World story arch in Action Comics (Issues #855-857) when a black-and-white flashback shows Bizarro meeting a young girl throwing flowers off a balcony. He then throws the girl off the balcony similarly to how the monster in this movie throws the girl into the water.
That "Beauty & The Beast" reference caught me off guard and that honestly just made me love it more. Thank you for also throwing in these little gifts for us, James! They don't go unnoticed!

Hey, i was born that day
I think Frankenstein's Monster didn't have any bad intentions. Like with Maria he just wanted to be friends there was no way he knew that she would drown, he killed Fritz because he was bullying him, I don't know if why he killed that other dude but still. He's one of the nicer horror movie villains that didn't have any bad intentions.

When Henry uses other people’s body parts, he’s “An ingenious scientist” and “Causing a miracle”, but when I do it, I’m “A psychopath” and “Should step away from the operation table”.
People are just so sensitive nowadays!
Same! I can't create my sculptures anymore. People.
tell me about it! I'm just trying to take pictures of organs for future generations!

The scariest thing about Frankenstein is that when the book was written they had just figured out that running currents through the muscle tissue of dead things could make them twitch and move again so to Shelly this wasn’t some far off theory most people actually believed that in the near scientific future they would actually be able to bring people back to life like this

We have figured out you cannot bring people back to life but at the time when the book was written it was the belief that it could happen as they had just discovered that if you run electricity though dead tissue if it’s fresh enough it will still move such as the famous experiment with frog legs to Mary schelly this wasn’t far fetched
@@swarupchakraborty6291
It lead to the invention of the defibrillator though so ended up being completely usefull
@@swarupchakraborty6291 First of all, It's called an Electron Microscope not an "Electronic Microscope", and what the hell does that have to do with not being able to bring cells back to life with electricity? Secondly, they didn't say you could bring back a dead cell with electricity because that's not even how bringing things back to life works you moron. Have you ever heard of a thing called a Defibrillator? You know, when you doctors bring you back from cardiac arrest (Which is basically death) using an electric shock?? The electric shock literally recharges your cardiovascular system and gets it pumping again. Your brain waves are electric charges. If you could get those brain waves moving again, then you could make the body functioning again. It's like recharging a battery.

I love that the practical/makeup effects artists almost always get a shout out or props of some kind. I love practical effects (that's my dream job) and it seems that they can be underappreciated sometimes, but not on this channel! :)
Lots of people don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve when they're the people who help make movies as good as they are - I also think stunt performers fall under this category. I try to shout them out and give credit whenever I can!

@@jackdonohue7893 It was a joke my guy
Frankenstein was actually described as a beautiful in the book--it was just his eyes that were unsettling. He wanted to learn what it was like to be human, so he eventually wanted a wife, but never got one due to his creator rejecting the demand.
I'm pretty sure he also had black lips, yellowish skin, and the skin was a little transparent so you could see veins underneath. Wasn't just his eyes.
He was also 8 or 9 feet tall
Frankenstein isn't the monster
welllll fun fact imma junior and we are reading frankenstein right now in english. Im talking the original by Mary Shelley and Victor was fucking terrified
WHAT DID YOU SAY!
FRANKENSTEIN ISN'T THE MONSTER
I personally call him Adam because of what he said in the book about wanting to be called Adam or something
I feel like no one I know watches these for the “counting” of the kills. It’s for the awesome behind the scenes facts and the amazing script writing James does for each episode. I’m particularly fond of the subtle and not so subtle music references in just about every video.
"Burgermaster" is actually Bürgermeister.
And Bürgermeister is the german Word for Mayor
JusticeAlong well one might guess that it is
JusticeAlong that’s mayor mccheese, a character from the McDonald’s cartoon mcdonaldland back in the 80s

In the book the monster is beautiful ( slightly viscerally disturbing ) with f-ed up eyes. Later on he was also extremely smart.
Overly sarcastic
Rage The Divine Draconic Demon lord then he burned himself at the end right
He wasn’t beautiful, he was intended to be but once animated his yellowed skin, black lips etc are horrifying to victor. He is, however, crazy smart and kind and driven to insane rage by his ostracism at every turn.
Any parent is going to think their creation is "beautiful" at first.
Later on he's described as an ogre, creature, fiend, ugly, monster, ugly wretch and a hideous creation.
the monster in these movies learns to speak later in the sequel. Its a slow process
Hopefully, before Thanksgiving or Christmas,
You should do *Holidays (2017)*
It's a great horror anthology movie based on each holiday!
I could see James doing Silent Night, Deadly Night for Christmas
So fun fact! The man named Victor in this is probably meant to be a stand in for the book's childhood best friend, one Henry Clerval.... so they just swapped their names for some reason
Henry sounded more friendly to the audience, they couldn’t have their main character sound too cold or sharp
Frankenstein book started the Science fiction genre in literature and horror genre in films. Mad props to Mary Shelley for given us it.
And she was eighteen years old.

Many people have often confused the name "Frankenstein" as the name of the Monster when it has actually always been the Doctor's name. Those who are aware that Frankenstein is NOT the name of the monster also like to claim that the Monster never had a name. However, the Monster actually DID have a name. His name was Oogie-Loogie!
Still, "Adam Frankenstein" is generally the consensus of what to name him in versions where the character needs to end up with a name.
Frankenstein's Monster is definitely one of the most tragic characters in all of horror. From the screams of fear in the windmill, to the limited vocabulary, and the genuinely terrified reaction of little Maria's death, it's hard not to feel for this truly iconic character.
Why, James! You....you quoted Rocky Horror! 😍🤩😎
But, I didn’t see you quiver with antici.........................👄
but he was jumpin like a real life wire
-pation!
Let's face it.
We all thought we were the smartest people ever, when we learned Frankenstein was the doctor not the monster
You wanna feel even more smart?
Well here you go
The reason Mary Shelley was listed as mrs Percy b Shelley is because that’s her husband, romantic(of the romantic era, not the Valentine’s Day stuff) poet Percy blouse shelley

A burgermaster is another word for a mayor. It’s still used in some European countries like the Dutch word “burgemeester”
Or Bürgermeister in Germany

Burgermeester Master Burger from the Santa Claus film. And now I'm craving a burger.
I'm a huge Simpsons fan and I never knew Marge's warning was based on this movie! Thank you for pointing that out 👍
This episode should also be called "Fact Count" cause I'm learning more stuff than I did in high school and I'm only 6 minutes in, great job Prof. James A. Janisse!!
That must be a series where he named cool facts
YourAverageManiac I would watch the hell out of that if James was the host
'Now I know what it feels like to be God!'
That line is frikkin' terrifying, from an existential perspective but also there are VERY few humans I know who would make good 'gods'...

You should make a new show, kinda like you started Cut Comparison, about the history of the monster. It would be really fun watching you talk about any horror villain, and you could even start with Frankenstein.
He's already under so much pressure.

@@legendsnest1261 Relax kid it's a content suggestion. James loves making videos, that's why it's his job. Just because he's busy now doesn't mean he wants to make the same show forever without adding some variety to his brand.

Me "I can't believe he's going to count the monster's death."

Movie: Henry Frankenstein has a friend named Victor.
Did they even read the book?
Man
BOTH of them survived the Creature in the movie, I mean wtf
It was likely just a way for the moviemakers to tip their hat at book readers, because they would be the only ones who would care or notice the change.
Ok I just had to make sure I wasn’t the only thinking about this
In the movie Frankenstein (James McAvoy) Henry was the brother of Victor, and he created a monster and named him after his brother
It was in the middle of the Red Scare. They wanted someone that sounded American AF
My mum gets pissed whenever I call Frankenstein's Monster "Frankenstein's Monster". She tells me to call him Frankenstein's creature, because he's not a monster. She has a point though.
Megashark 101 Wait what point does she have? The dictionary definition of a “monster” is “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.”
Frankenstein’s monster is all of those things.
Someone nah dude he bad af
@@henryhamilton9898 ugly? rude af
Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster
Because in the actual book, Frankenstein's Monster wasn't that bad. He was raised very poorly by Victor, and was treated badly by pretty much everyone he met.
Oh, and also, he is never once referred to as a monster, or Frankenstein's Monster in the book. He's always called "the creature".

Hey man, I dont know if you still read comments on your old videos, especially videos this old, but I thought it would be cool if you did a Kill Count for Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Millers version of Frankenstein, which was recorded by the national theatre and is currently if fleetingly available on youtube. It is a far more tragic rendition with some phenomenal acting. I realise its not a movie, but rather a play, but it is still an incredible watch that I think you'll really enjoy.
You should do more kill counts on really old movies. Like if u agree.

The bit with the little girl and Frankenstein's monster is actually very similar to a scene in the Escape from Bizarro World story arch in Action Comics (Issues #855-857) when a black-and-white flashback shows Bizarro meeting a young girl throwing flowers off a balcony. He then throws the girl off the balcony similarly to how the monster in this movie throws the girl into the water.
Damn, they ripped off Bizarro!
