EDISON'S FRANKENSTEIN — 1910 CENTENNIAL EDITION
(W) Chris Yambar (A) Robb Bihun, Levi Krause
In 1910 inventor Thomas Edison made the world's first Frankenstein movie. Due to public outcry against it, all prints were gathered and destroyed, and the monster would not be seen again on the silver screen until the Universal version in 1931 that starred Boris Karloff. For nearly 80 years this film was considered one of the Top 10 lost films. Today, only one copy of Edison's Frankenstein is known to exist. This lavishly illustrated adaptation is released to coincide with the film's historic 100th anniversary, and for many this will be the only opportunity to experience Edison's most infamous creation.
