    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.

    English 2333: an Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr

    English 2333: An Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr. Monica Smith [Before this class meeting, students watch the Edison Frankenstein for homework and answer three questions, and we begin class by reviewing these questions: 1) What version of the Creature does this film present: the Creature as monster, the creature as human, or something in between? 2) What aspects of Shelley’s story (characterization, plot detail, setting, imagery) have the filmmakers kept? What has been deleted? To what effect? 3) What role does music play in this film?] Frankenstein (usually called The 1910 Edison Frankenstein) Director J. Searle Dawley. Starring Charles Ogle. Edison, 1910. Silent film. Approximately 13 minutes. This is the earliest known film version of Frankenstein. Regrettably, the only surviving copy was held by a private collector who refused to let film students and scholars study or even view it. Now the film fortunately has passed into the public domain and is available via Google video. Frankenstein Director James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, and Mae Clarke. Produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. Adaptation by Robert Florey and John L. Balderston. Screenplay by Garrett Fort, Robert Florey, and Francis Edward Faragoh. Based on the play by Peggy Webling. Universal, 1931. 71 minutes. This version makes substantive changes to both plot and character, renaming our protagonist, for one example, “Dr. Henry Frankenstein,” and calling his friend “Victor.” This film gives us many of the stock elements of the twentieth-century Frankenstein myth: the mad scientist in a castle on a mountaintop who cries “It’s alive! It’s alive!” when his reanimation is successful, the scientist’s hunchbacked assistant, and the robot-like, inarticulate creature with bolts in his neck.

    Frankenstein (1931) Director: James Whale

    Frankenstein (1931) Director: James Whale Grave-robbing scene occurs near the Bavarian mountain village of Goldstadt, Transylvania. Crouched in the background from behind the cemetery fence, medical scientist Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his hunchbacked assistant Fritz (Dwight Frye) eagerly watch the proceedings. Frankenstein: "He's just resting - waiting for a new life to come." Fritz reluctantly climbs up a post and cuts down an executed criminal hanging from a gallows' rope. "The neck's broken; the brain is useless. We must find another brain," laments Frankenstein. Needing only a brain, Dr. Frankenstein sends his dwarfish assistant to his old, nearby medical school (Goldstadt Medical College) to steal one. College Professor Waldman (Edward van Sloan), in front of floodlights, teaches about the differences between a normal brain ("one of the most perfect specimens of the human brain") and the degenerate murderer's brain ("the abnormal brain of the typical criminal"). The Professor delineates the degenerative characteristics of the criminal brain - "the scarcity of convolutions on the frontal lobe...and the distinct degeneration of the middle frontal lobe." Fritz has an accident and takes the second choice. Dr. Frankenstein’s history at the University. Dr. Henry Frankenstein’s creation is revealed. “This storm will be magnificent. All the electrical secrets of Heaven. And this time we're ready, eh Fritz?” From under the blanket covering the corpse, a blackened, scarred arm protrudes outward. Henry calms Fritz's jittery nerves as he caresses the arm of the inanimate corpse: “There's nothing to fear. Look. No blood, no decay. Just a few stitches.

    For Immediate Release Enzian Theater Announces Universal Classic Monsters Week and Ella Fitzgerald Documentary June 26 – July

    Media Contact: Valerie Cisneros [email protected] 407-629-1088 x302 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENZIAN THEATER ANNOUNCES UNIVERSAL CLASSIC MONSTERS WEEK AND ELLA FITZGERALD DOCUMENTARY JUNE 26 – JULY 2 Orlando, FL – (June 23, 2020) – Perhaps the most influential cycle of films in cinema history, the Universal Classic Monsters of the ‘30s, ‘40s, and early ‘50s have proven to be immortal—dreamlike, macabre, horrific, atmospheric, haunting, and among the most wonderfully crafted films of all time. Spawning hundreds of knock-offs, sequels, models, comic books, magazines, books, toys, t-shirts, lunch boxes and more, these iconic film masterpieces have had a profound effect on the art and culture of multiple generations of movie fans. Based on the works of famed authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells and Gaston Leroux—and featuring the filmmaking talents of celebrated directors such as Tod Browning, James Whale, and Jack Arnold, along with legendary actors like Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, Elsa Lanchester, and Lon Chaney, Jr.—these 8 classics are where it all started for genre lovers (and you know who you are!) For the first time in Enzian’s history, all of them can be seen in the same week. Amazing! In addition to Universal Classic Monsters Week, we are thrilled to bring in Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things, a documentary that traces the story of Ella Fitzgerald’s life and explores how her music became a soundtrack for a tumultuous century. Enzian is also excited to be able to reschedule special programming that was postponed due to the pandemic.
