Frankenstein (1910)

One of the earliest horror films period. The 1910 production of Frankenstein by Edison Studios marks the beginning of the genre of the horror movie. At Sixteen minutes the story is somewhat truncated.
Frankenstein creates is creature in a womblike cauldron. The sequence in which the creature is formed by condensing vapor in a box is the most visually interesting part of the feature. The creature itself looks vaguely like some kind of ragdoll sasquatch. The film is silent and filmed in black and white with various mood setting tints.
