For a while, this 1910 version of FRANKENSTEIN was considered lost for many years--that is until a Cudahy, Wisconsin film collector named Alois F. "Al" Dettlaff (1921-2005) publicized it as being a film he had in his collection since the 1950s. The late Mr. Dettlaff is one of my heroes, however eccentric he was, because his movie collecting habits remind me of my own TV programming collection on DVDs. Thank you for preserving this cinematic gem, Mr. Dettlaff!!
Known about this for ever but never seen it. Excellent. My 10 yr old son watched it with me and said it was creepy, so it still works all these years later
Thanks for posting. In 1910, as film audiences wouldn't yet easily recognize backward motion film, that backward burning prop must've been quite the special effect.
Yes, I recall reading years ago, that in the early days of motion pictures, a PAPER copy of the film had to be submitted to The US Library of Congress, for copyright purposes. Otherwise, almost NO films before 1915 or so would have survived. Wonderful soundtrack you've added! New subscriber!
Amazing Great terror movie to 1910. Imagine all the peope watching it. It was the first theatrical version of Frankenstein. Thanks Mary Shelley. Thanks for sharing us the vídeo. Rio-Brazil
Fantastic!! Love the additional soundtrack and choir treatments. They remind me of the opening titles for Herzog's 'Nosferatu the Vampyre'. Thanks for posting this incredible moment in cinematic history.
Accidenti! Un film di 114 anni fa e ci sono dentro delle idee che fanno tranquillamente impallidire tutta la fuffa CGI che imperversa in numerose produzioni di oggi. Complimenti anche per la potente colonna sonora: mi ha fatto ricordare le atmosfere Incredibilmente evocative dei Popol Vuh nel bellissimo Nosferatu di W. Herzog. Bravissima e grazie!
Thank you for sharing, this is great. Interesting that here the experiment is more like the alchemical creation of a homunculus rather than the foraging for chimerical corpse material like later versions! ❤
Iirc in the book the creature is brought to life through a chemical process rather than the dramatic electrical lightning storm in the later Boris Karloff movie...
I read she got her idea from some scientific papers written about a Swedish scientist experimenting with electricity and frog legs. He would send current through them and they would jerk. Today we have the defibrillator to shock the heart of one whose heart has stopped.
The movie was very interesting but the soundtrack sent it over the top. PERFECT music for the film. It truly elevated the viewing experience. Great work.
For years this was considered a lost film. Great that it can be seen now. The FIRST Frankenstein film. I think Edison got in trouble with copyrights or something and had to destroy all the prints. Luckily two survived!
When I was a kid, my parents took my sister and me downtown to the movie theater to see The Gorgon. It was a slow and ponderous movie, but the soundtrack was dark and foreboding. We pleaded with our parents to take us home. Only time we ever left before the movie ended.
Remarkable. The creation special effects are astounding for 1910. The sound track contributes to the eerie atmosphere.....Too bad they couldn't preserve the original soundtrack by the Rolling Stones.
Yep! No Peer Review or Mentor for Freshmen, this sort of thing is bound to happen at any good Medical School. After all, no Med Student wants to be Marcus Welbe, they all want to be Victor Frankenstein!
Excellent! ... ... I am sure that with AI, with its speed at distinguishing, correlating, and matching patterns and tones, should greatly refine and improve the picture quality - even smooth over its jerky motions, plus even colorize it!
well, soundstrack is a bit samey samey over the span of all scenes. not bad at all, but just like too much of the same. that frankenstein mosnter is really scary, very unique design. it has something of a goblin
It's super interesting what society thought of this "monster" in 1910. A hat, manicure, and some new clothes would have made this intelligent creature able to live in society, IMO.
@pippishortstocking7913 It's not really a Swipe,I play 'Mama I'm Coming Home ' regularly on guitar he just has a face and maybe the hair that looks like him.Pretty Cool 😎 for 1910.
HM??? interesting version, creature comes out from soup, my goodness my parents were not born yet and my grandparents were just very young people. 114 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The film is incredible for 1910 but that music is mind blowing.
Agreed!
The music is from 2020.

This is the most haunting and surreal film score I have ever heard. It goes with the film perfectly.
My goodness...impressive. Thank you!

A remarkable early film, and the soundtrack syncs beautifully with it.
I agreement.

How do you make a paper copy of a film?
In those days copyrights were only available for material printed on paper.
Great, spooky soundtrack. Well done!
I love travelling the back lanes of TH-cam and discovering content creators whose talent is otherworldly. Thanks Carlotta Ferrari 🥰
Very well done ... and very eerie ... score! You did a fantastic job! Thank you for posting!
Amazing
Great terror movie to 1910.
Imagine all the peope watching it.
It was the first theatrical version of Frankenstein.
Thanks Mary Shelley.
Thanks for sharing us the vídeo.

my mother once told me that KING KONG terrified people. this must have done the same
A brilliant scoring.
The soundtrack was freaking creepy.! Gives the film a sinister sensation,

The handwriting. I love it!!
No you don't.
Extraordinary to think about watching a film made when the Habsburgs and Romanovs were still on the throne.

The music is beyond amazing! Strange, haunting, thought provoking, and gorgeous.

Amazing, love the chorus too, very well made and gives you true chills.
great job. the mirror scene at the end was intriguing . many thanks for posting
Impressed with the set design.
Another interesting early film. Very creative soundtrack, it really added to the horror facor. 😊👏👏👏
Sound track was outstanding, the visual is an eerie experience, I would like to have tried it on 'shrooms'-maybe too intense
Fantastic
What a beautiful soundtrack!
An amazing and effective soundtrack!
When I was a kid, my parents took my sister and me downtown to the movie theater to see The Gorgon. It was a slow and ponderous movie, but the soundtrack was dark and foreboding. We pleaded with our parents to take us home. Only time we ever left before the movie ended.
Mind bending. Thanks for that... my Lawyers will be in touch.
Fantastically ambient! Creepy and horrifying
I love the haunting music
Both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were not even born yet when this was made. They made some of the greatest horror movies
And Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff were in their 20s
La colonna sonora è tremendamente inquietante, e quindi congeniale all'intera opera.
The monster's a dead ringer for joy behar.
Remarkable. The creation special effects are astounding for 1910. The sound track contributes to the eerie atmosphere.....Too bad they couldn't preserve the original soundtrack by the Rolling Stones.
This was great Thanks for sharing
Creepy AF. That music, those voices!
The creation was Charles Ogle and Tom Edison produced it. 5:27
Bel lavoro Salutami Paolo 👋
Muchas gracias por esta maravilla 🌹
The pipe that the dude at 6:20 was smoking is epic!
You like dudes smoking pipes?
Brilliant. In the near future a perfect print of this can be generated.
This reminds me how the terminator flicks hits the same part of the brain
The film quality is surprisingly good for 1910.
The creation of the monster scene is really interesting. Clearly it's played backward, but did they burn a dummy to get the effect?
Fabulous ❤️
I've seen modern reality shows that had far worse acting. A very interesting historical flick, thanks.
The part where Frankenstein appeared in the mirror unexpectedly was scary!
Watched this in 1910. Very creepy. Especially in a dark theatre.
What an unbelievably old movie!
I didn't think they could record anything way back in 1910
The very first movie, one filmed in Britain, was made in 1888!
The monster doesn't look evil, like me at certain times.
I don't think it was Frankenstein's creation that was evil.
However the movie is still playing so...
The silent 🤫 movie 🎥 was ART 🎥
super creepy
Beutiful!
The soundtrack made the film creepy.
ITS JOY FROM THE VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So strange to see what 1910 thought was scary.
Shouldn't this movie be 16 minutes long? Or at least IMDb says so. Wonderful soundtrack you added.
Please become intelligent before posting comments. Thank you.
@@scarygary-qq1pj it sounds like you want to be an expert but are quite ignorant on actual facts. Laughable really 🤭
With a shower, haircut and a clean set of clothes he’d have brushed up quite well.
Yep! No Peer Review or Mentor for Freshmen, this sort of thing is bound to happen at any good Medical School. After all, no Med Student wants to be Marcus Welbe, they all want to be Victor Frankenstein!
The Dr. looked like Professor Erwin Cory.
How was this received by the public when it first came out?
...and they lived happily ever after...the end.
How does this have only 32K views?
People have poor taste.
Esse Frankstein e um verdadeiro talarico , perigoso demais .
I would like to watch properly on mdma
people ran all the way home that night
Probably to get away from 1d10t$ who are too $t00P1D to use punctuation or capital letters.🦧
The monster looks like Joyce Behar.
Clicked on the thumbnail because I thought it was a rammstein video 😂
So, Frankenstein is an alchimist in this version?
Why should you care? Will it give you more ©®️@©️K?
that is how today's movies will look to people 100 years from now
Excellent! ... ... I am sure that with AI, with its speed at distinguishing, correlating, and matching patterns and tones, should greatly refine and improve the picture quality - even smooth over its jerky motions, plus even colorize it!
Play video at x .75 speed. More realistic. Still wonderfully hammy but a normal speed.
You're right!
.
well, soundstrack is a bit samey samey over the span of all scenes. not bad at all, but just like too much of the same. that frankenstein mosnter is really scary, very unique design. it has something of a goblin
I love how overdone the acting is in first generation movies.
Ozzy Osbourne at it's best😅

Вот умели же раньше снимать кино,сейчас какойто хлам голивуд делает!!))😂
Terminator is born!
I really loved this. But the soundtrack is terrible. Sorry. Wagner or a funeral march by Mahler would have been better.
Looks more like Big Bird's dirty uncle
I STILL THINK THAT FRANKENSTEIN COVER PICTURE LOOKS ALOT LIKE OZZIE OSBORN 😮
Too bad they couldn't remaster this ,also the cover picture looks Alot like Ozzie 😊
I thought Eddie Money 😂
@pippishortstocking7913 I'm sticking with Ozzie, HE Really Reminds me of Him.
@@TerryFlynn-sd1ho lol poor Ozzie
@pippishortstocking7913 It's not really a Swipe,I play 'Mama I'm Coming Home ' regularly on guitar he just has a face and maybe the hair that looks like him.Pretty Cool 😎 for 1910.
Maybe Ozzie’s ancestor made by Frankenstein.🕸️🕷️🦇
HM??? interesting version, creature comes out from soup, my goodness my parents were not born yet and my grandparents were just very young people. 114 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The acting was terrible.
No it wasn't.
@@scarygary-qq1pj yeah, hu.
@@scarygary-qq1pj yeah hu.
It was the style favoured at the time. Lots of exaggerated gestures. Seems kinda hammy to us now but I guess people had different expectations then?
@@lamalama9717 yeah I know I’m just being ironic. Bad joke.
