The Illuminati's members pledged obedience to their superiors, and were divided into three main classes, each with several degrees. Hopefully with this snappy new DVD collection, "the monster that started it all" will be introduced to a whole new generation of horror movie fans. Waldman (portrayed by Edward Van Sloan) was a professor of anatomical studies at Goldstadt Medical College. In Frankenstein, the problem is less obvious, thanks almost entirely to James Whale’s skill as a director. Kevorkian, is a brilliant scientist whose ideas and theologies are not only a bit ahead of their time but have also caused isolation from the medical community.Although Waldman had much respect for Henry's brilliance, he became increasingly disturbed when Henry began demanding fresh bodies for his experiments in chemical galvanism and electro- biology: bodies that were not those of cats and dogs, but human beings. In his quieter scenes, however, he conveys a sense of humour, of irony, that makes you understand just why James Whale insisted upon his casting. All of this, however, is the kind of thing that may not occur to the audience until after a viewing.

He intends to steal the normal brain, but after being startled into dropping it, in desperation he steals the criminal brain instead.And the producers of Frankenstein knew it, too—and were sufficiently worried to tack a prologue onto their film. In truth, neither Dracula nor Frankenstein can match the quality, or the audacity, of many of the films that followed them; but it must never be forgotten that they blazed the way, laying down the foundations for all that would come after. All my previous commentary aside and despite my attempts to examine the more subtle aspects of Frankenstein, without question the film's defining moment comes from the actual revelation of the legendary monster itself.

I read in an interview that Karloff’s makeup was so gruesome that the actress had trouble acting with him.The two films were even re-released as a double-bill late in the thirties—neither of them quite the works they had been, granted. The thunderclaps that greet Frankenstein’s infamous pronouncement that he knows what it feels like to be God leave us in little doubt that the heavens are not best pleased with his presumption. It was an intense vision that produced one of the greatest and powerful horror stories n the western literature, it is a story which assumed a mythic view as it taken into account the profound result concerning understanding of a man of his position in the world and the results of transgressing against nature and God (Gilbert, 2000, 1-4). Frankenstein continues to draw our attention to this motif with his reiterated speeches about the Creature being the product of his hands, his own hands. In Dracula, this resulted in long, painfully static sequences that gave viewers ample opportunity to contemplate just what was wrong with the film they were watching.

One day he decided that he wanted to study further, so Victor actually created a person of his own out of old body parts and strange chemicals.Hadn’t watched any of these in almost a decade, and what struck me the most was how much Karloff’s vocalizations get under you skin in this thing.
