Dread by the Decade: Frankenstein

👻 You can support me on Ko-fi ❤️

★★★★★

Plot: An aristocratic scientist grows unhinged as he embarks on a dark quest to create life.

Director: James Whale Writers: Garrett Fort, Francis Edward Faragoh, Robert Florey, John Russell Cinematographer: Arthur Edeson Cast: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Boris Karloff, Edward Van Sloan, Frederick Kerr

-----

Story: 4/5 - Though it departs from its source material, it’s still an engaging exploration of the dangers of obsession and violence born from neglect.

Performances: 5/5 - Clive gives a career best performance as a man consumed by his pursuits, and Karloff invokes both fear and pity without a word.

Cinematography: 4.5/5 - Great use of shadow and camera angles.

Editing: 4/5

Effects: 4.5/5 - Solid props, lightning effects, and pyrotechnics.

Sets: 5/5 - Elaborate, diverse sets and locations. The lab is iconic.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 5/5 - Great costumes. The Monster's makeup is corpse-like and uncanny without taking away from his often child-like expressions.

Mild ableism

Mild violence

Child murder

Abuse

Frankenstein

James Whale’s FRANKENSTEIN (1931, TCM) was among a package of Universal horror films that, along with more recent drive-in fare, played on late-night Saturdays in Philadelphia in the 1960s. At the time, I wasn’t all that impressed, and it’s taken me this long to catch up with it again. I think my initial problem was that the juvenile me expected more of a monster film. Over time, it seems to have moved further in that direction, but with the mantle of monstrosity shifting from Frankenstein’s creation (Boris Karloff) to Frankenstein himself (Colin Clive).

Under Whale’s direction and wearing Jack Pierce’s iconic makeup, Karloff creates a fully rounded character, an infant who doesn’t need an abnormal brain to turn to violence. He’s trained in it by his creator and Fritz (Dwight Frye, who’s quite good), Frankenstein’s hunchbacked assistant. Pierce’s makeup confines Karloff’s expressions to his eyes and the lower part of his face, but he works them to create subtle gradations that reflect his reactions to what to him are new phenomena. His gait is less the stereotyped lurching of later interpreters of the role than the hesitant first steps of a toddler. And his emotional reactions are also those of a child, played with a physical abandon made more surprising when you realize how constricting and painful the costume and makeup were. In contrast to Karloff’s surprising realism, Clive seems to be performing in the grand style reserved for Shakespearean productions in theaters seating thousands. It’s not just Mary Shelley by flashes of lightning. It’s Mary Shelley in one sustained eruption of sturm und drang. His cavalier treatment of others, which would become a standard trope of mad scientist films, is far from sympathetic, while his ultimate treatment of the life he created is downright inhuman.

Whale’s direction now seems subtly subversive (whereas his work on the sequel, 1935’s BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, is brazenly so). Until the monster escapes, Whale shoots the scenes in the real world flatly. I don’t know if the early scenes of Frankenstein’s fiancée (Mae Clarke, whose performance made me wish I had a grapefruit handy) and best friend (John Boles) are from the 1920s play by Peggy Webling, but they feel stage bound. Whale pretty much shoots them straight on. It isn’t until Clive’s father (Frederick Kerr) shows up as comic relief that the nice people seem worth spending any time with. For the scenes in Frankenstein’s haunts — the laboratory, the cemetery and the medical school — Whale and cinematographer Arthur Edeson pull out all the German Expressionist stops (Whale screened key German silents while preparing this film). The camera slides and lunges, revealing dazzling angles and expressive compositions. In one sense, Whale renders Frankenstein’s scientific world queer; it’s an assault on the normal world of his family. But the queer scenes are so much more visually interesting than anything happening with the “nice” people, they end up being privileged. We’d rather live in the mad doctor’s world of gods and monsters than in the nice world of blandly concerned fiancées and friends. It’s only when the monster escapes that their world becomes as visually compelling as the doctor’s. The monster injects such a welcome note of queerness and, in Karloff’s performance, humanity it’s almost tragic to see him come to an end…at least until the sequel.

Hastings Miniature Railway - No. 3007 'Firefly' - Sep 1950 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph dated 02 Sep 1950, of the 10 1/4" (260mm) gauge Hastings Miniature Railway engine No. 3007 'Firefly'. This is in a rail enthusiast old photo album, on the photo reverse is annotated "0-6-0 No. 3007 at Hastings, 2/9/50, unfortunately there is no photographer name. 'Firefly' history from Wikipedia:- "Firefly, built H.C.S. Bullock, in 1936 (as GWR 0-6-0PT No 3007); rebuilt 1945 by RHDR engineers as 0-6-0 tender locomotive. This engine is perhaps the one most closely associated with the Hastings Miniature Railway, having operated there from the opening of the line in 1948 until 1984, when it was sold to the Kerr's Miniature Railway in Scotland. Having been the principal engine at Hastings, it has retained that role (and the original number, 3007) in Scotland." 🚂 NOTE - Apparently Kerr's railway closed indefinitely on 11 October 2020. The owner said “Nothing’s being sold, the collection is going to stay with the family and it’s going to stay together.” The Hastings Miniature Railway Wikipedia page:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastings_Miniature_Railway If there are any errors in the above description please let me know.

1/17 Post

In response to Kern's "Origins" about the origins of manga in Japanese pop culture and media, I found it interesting how the reading was unable to truly define what manga is. In the West, we typically define manga as comics or graphic novels, but I believe that manga has a broader meaning in Japanese society than just comics or graphic novels. Although I have yet to read any manga, prior to our previous class discussions and this text produced by Kern, I have always perceived manga as something completely original and uninfluenced by Western culture or media. The text states, otherwise, "Until proof to the contrary comes to light, if anything occasioned the modern Japanese manga, it was the Western comic strip and comic book, not the kiboyishi (Kern)."

I knew that manga had a global influence and audience, however I thought that modern manga and traditional Western comic strips detailing the adventures of superheroes evolved separately. From what it appears in our class discussions, Japanese manga seems to span a multitude of genres, whereas when I think about traditional Western comic books, it mostly pertains to the lives of superheroes that possess some superpowers.

Upon reading the text, I am still somewhat confused on why the author, Kerr disproves of solely linking the origins of manga to kibyoshi or Western comic books. I found it a bit strange that Kerr argues that cultural commentators that trace the origins or manga back to kibyoshi to be distortful in nature. Was kibyoshi something that is solely Japanese as well or does kiboyoshi also derive it's origings from perhaps other cultures or prior events in Japanese history? Why did kibyoshi have a yellow cover? Does the color yellow signify something in Japanese culture or did it previously signify something in the Edo era?

Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye in Dracula

Dwight Frye, Colin Clive, and Boris Karloff in Frankenstein

Dracula (Tod Browning, 1931)

Cast: Bela Lugosi, Helen Chandler, David Manners, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, Herbert Bunston, Frances Dade. Screenplay: Garrett Fort, based on a play by Hamilton Dean and John L. Balderston adapted from a novel by Bram Stoker. Cinematography: Karl Freund. Production design: John Hoffman, Herman Rosse. Film editing: Milton Carruth.

Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931)

Cast: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Boris Karloff, Frederick Kerr, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, Lionel Belmore, Marilyn Harris. Screenplay: Garrett Fort, Francis Edward Faragoh, based on a story treatment by John L. Balderston of a play by Peggy Webling adapted from a novel by Mary Shelley. Cinematography: Arthur Edeson. Art direction: Charles D. Hall. Film editing: Clarence Kolster. Music: Bernhard Kaun.

Tod Browning's Dracula and James Whale's Frankenstein have a lot in common. Both were based on stage plays adapted from celebrated novels; together they established the Universal studios as specialists in horror movies, the way gangster movies seemed to characterize Warner Bros. and musicals became identified as an MGM specialty; both launched the careers of actors known almost exclusively for their roles as monsters -- a millstone around the neck of the very talented Boris Karloff, an alternate identity for the less-gifted Bela Lugosi. There are some other incidental similarities: Both feature performances by Dwight Frye, a rather ordinary looking character actor who became a specialist in creepy roles. In Dracula he's the vampire's stooge, Renfield, marked by a wheezing laugh that sounds like a cat trying to heave up a hairball. In Frankenstein he's the hunchbacked Fritz, stooge to the titular scientist. Both feature Edward Van Sloan as professorial types: the vampire expert Van Helsing and the ill-fated Dr. Waldman. Both have ingenues preyed upon by the monsters and handsome juveniles who try to be their stalwart defenders but mostly just get in the way. But Frankenstein is by far a better film than Dracula. It may be that James Whale was a more gifted director than Tod Browning, although Browning had a long career in silent films. including some standout Lon Chaney features, before Whale made his mark in Hollywood. Or it may just be that Dracula was made first, so that everyone working on Frankenstein could learn from its mistakes. Browning, I think, hadn't quite gotten used to making talkies, so that the pacing of Dracula is off: Scenes and speeches seem to halt a little longer than they need to. Dracula also betrays its origins on the stage more than Frankenstein. Apart from the spectacle of the storm at sea, there's little in Dracula that couldn't have been put on stage, whereas Frankenstein is loaded with spectacle: the opening funeral and grave-robbing scene; the sparking and flashing laboratory equipment and the thunderstorm; the murder of Little Maria; the torch-bearing villagers and the burning of the old mill. One thing they don't have much of is actual scary stuff, especially as compared to today's blood-and-gore horror movies. To contemporary audiences, Dracula and Frankenstein seem bloodless and gutless, and Dracula in particular has been deprived of its shock value by Lugosi's lack of sex appeal -- vampirism is a sexual threat, given its preoccupation with the exchange of bodily fluids, which is why vampires have gotten hotter over the years. The monster in Frankenstein on the other hand elicits sympathy: It's alone in a world it never made, which is why some think Whale, a gay man, betrays an identification with the character.

Universal's Unique Horror Genre and how Frankenstein (1931) Drew on Studio Talent

Julia Merolle

     After having watched Frankenstein (1931) this week, the genre was unique to that studio’s style because Universal Studios went all in on horror films in the 1930s after the success of Dracula (1931), which only came out a few months before Frankenstein did. Universal Studios’ unique style was that previously they had lost over $2 million in revenue but because of the success of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi (who would eventually go to play other horror roles), the people in charge of productions for Universal Studios decided to follow this theme of horror and to produce more and more horror films. This then drew on many studio talents such as Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Boris Karloff, Edward Van Sloan, Frederick Kerr, and Dwight Frye as the main characters in the film Frankenstein. When relating the film of Frankenstein to Universal Studios' unique style, it was important because Universal Studios had to make up new types of characters, specifically monsters, in their films. For example, Dracula is more of a human, yet Frankenstein and the Wolf Man are actual monsters. Universal Studios did something important which was that they kept creating more and more horror characters because of the success of their previous movies based on horror. Additionally, at this time in the 1930s, was the time before the Hays Code happened. The Hays Code prohibited films from making movies that weren’t deemed “safe” to the public. This basically prevented the making of horror films because horror films involved evil and sometimes scenes that made us feel bad for the bad guys. For example, the Hays Code states, “Evil and good are never confused, evil is always recognized clearly as evil, the audience feels that evil is wrong and good is right.” The Hays Code happened from 1934 to 1968, so Frankenstein (1931) was not affected by the Hays Code. However, for Sunday’s viewing, I chose the Bride of Frankenstein (1935), it happened a year after the Hays Code was enacted, which means that when I go to watch it this week, I can differentiate it from Frankenstein which I just viewed. The Hays Code is important to note because it changed the unique style that Universal had for its movies during these years. The horror genre was changed when the Hays Code came out but luckily, it was ended in 1968 and replaced with the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America’s (MPPDA) film rating system. This film rating system is the one that we still use today for films. The Hays Code was overall just ridiculous because it set very strict guidelines that only applied to Christians because it was written by a Jesuit priest with a Catholic publisher so thankfully it was replaced in 1968 and films have once again their creative freedom.
