  • The Horror Film Series
    Ihe Museum of Modern Art No. 11 jest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Saturday, February 6, I965 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art Film Library will present THE HORROR FILM, a series of 20 films, from February 7 through April, 18. Selected by Arthur L. Mayer, the series is planned as a representative sampling, not a comprehensive survey, of the horror genre. The pictures range from the early German fantasies and legends, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (I9I9), NOSFERATU (1922), to the recent Roger Corman-Vincent Price British series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, represented here by THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (I96IO. Milestones of American horror films, the Universal series in the 1950s, include THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925), FRANKENSTEIN (1951), his BRIDE (l$55), his SON (1929), and THE MUMMY (1953). The resurgence of the horror film in the 1940s, as seen in a series produced by Val Lewton at RR0, is represented by THE CAT PEOPLE (19^), THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (19^4), I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (19*£), and THE BODY SNAT0HER (19^5). Richard Griffith, Director of the Film Library, and Mr. Mayer, in their book, The Movies, state that "In true horror films, the archcriminal becomes the archfiend the first and greatest of whom was undoubtedly Lon Chaney. ...The year Lon Chaney died [1951], his director, Tod Browning,filmed DRACULA and therewith launched the full vogue of horror films. What made DRACULA a turning-point was that it did not attempt to explain away its tale of vampirism and supernatural horrors.

The term represents ideas and themes transported over two hundred years from the novel Frankenstein (Shelley, 1818) to contemporary critical discourse about biotechnology. Most studies of Frankenstein’s endurance have focused on the novel’s intrinsic literary form, that is, its reception history, adaptations, interpretations, its publication, or its canonical status as a classic. However, this thesis is a history of ideas that offers a unique examination of Frankenstein’s endurance in mythical form as the Frankenstein myth.

  • James Whale's Frankensteins Reanimating the Great War
    JAMES WHALE'S FRANKENSTEINS REANIMATING THE GREAT WAR Christiane Gerblinger (Cineaction 82/83 2010) We feel as if something inside us, in our blood, has been switched on. Thatʼs not just a phrase—it is a fact. It is the front, that has made electrical contact... We are dead men with no feelings, who are able by some trick, some dangerous magic, to keep on running and keep on killing.1 —Remarque, Erich Maria, All Quiet on the Western Front The destruction wrought by World War One, its decline in human welfare and the lack of progress that became apparent as Europe began, once more, to mobilise for war were moulded, by British director James Whale, into perhaps the most significant film adaptations of Mary Shelleyʼs Frankenstein (1818). Moreover, Whaleʼs films—Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935)—should be understood as narratives deriving from the two cataclysmic social crises of the time: the Great War and the post-war years leading up to the Great Depression. Through the prism of those events, Whaleʼs monster is rendered a returning and mutilated soldier, in turn a Forgotten Man and the dispossessed citizen of a depressed economy. Merging these into the now iconic figure of Boris Karloffʼs monster, Whaleʼs films are emblematic of the inertia of those inter-war years, with hope, reconstruction and progress foiled by the return of history. In establishing the significance of the Great War in Whaleʼs adaptations, this essay also offers an analysis of some of the wider implications this influence brings with it2, such as the deterioration of the human community and the individualʼs role within that community, as well as a comparison between Frankensteinʼs materials and a trope most apparent in German art of the period, namely, the production of destruction.

  • Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein by Ron Palumbo
    Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein By Ron Palumbo “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” would probably be the last film anyone would think of as divisive or controversial. But one of its stars hated the script; one regretted doing it; another horror icon refused to see it; theater exhibitors complained about it; censors edited it; and horror fans reviled it. Even so, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” was an instant hit when it was released, and has re- mained a perennial favorite from its 1959 debut on television and 8mm home movies, through VHS, la- Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounter Frankenstein (Glenn ser disc and Blu-ray releases.

Noises Off After reading a volume of ghost stories with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron Oct 27 – Dec 16, 2018 and attempting to pen ghastly tales of their own, Mary awoke one night McGuire Proscenium Stage from a chilling vision of a scientist bringing a “hideous phantasm of a man” to life. That striking image was the impetus for her novel, which was A Christmas Carol published in 1818 and kept alive through stage and film adaptations for Nov 13 – Dec 29, 2018 the past 200 years. Wurtele Thrust Stage But her ghost-story-turned-cultural-phenomenon isn’t the only notable The Great Leap anniversary. We’re also heralding the 30th anniversary of Barbara Field’s Jan 12 – Feb 10, 2019 McGuire Proscenium Stage haunting Frankenstein – Playing with Fire script. This brilliant adaptation was commissioned by the Guthrie under the artistic direction of the late As You Like It Garland Wright and opened in July 1988 following a five-month national Feb 9 – March 17, 2019 tour. Barbara’s work and artistry are woven into the fabric of the Guthrie’s Wurtele Thrust Stage history, and I’m thrilled to once again examine the questions Mary Shelley raised two centuries ago. Cyrano de Bergerac The riveting and deeply personal catechism between Frankenstein and March 16 – May 5, 2019 his Creature draws us in from the first question — “Do you dream?” — and McGuire Proscenium Stage never lets us go.

Though Mary Shelley (1797–1851) was only 20 years old when Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus was first published in 1818, she posed profound questions in her novel about individual and societal responsibility for other human beings. To make her point, she used the scientific advances of her era and the controversy surrounding them as a metaphor for issues of unchecked power and self-serving ambition, and their effect on the human community. This exhibition explores the woman and the world that gave birth to Frankenstein .
