The only Frankenfilm made in the 1910s was done by Thomas Edison. I have quite a bit (A LOT!!!) of hatred in my heart for Edison, since he stole the work of the (much better) Georges Melies to show in North America, driving Melies into bankruptcy and poverty, and ultimately ending his career in film. However, I love this short film! Suuuuper low-quality, but insane that it came out less than a century after Frankenstein was published. Charles Ogle will always be famous to me. Enjoy the first-ever Frankenfilm made, courtesy of the same man who invented the phonograph, lightbulb, and carbon microphone!
