Hey Everyone!

I wasn't able to stream Young Frankenstein in Canada, I had NO IDEA! I typically don't check ahead, as most things are available! I do apologize! I overnight shipped the Blu-ray, which is arriving today, and I will add that poll winner Reaction this weekend! SO, I decided to watch the Original! WOW, am I so happy I did! This film was incredible!

Let me know your thoughts down below!

Frankenstein (1931)

Comments

This worked out for the best! Lots of references to the original which will make Young Frankenstein even funnier!

Wade Wallenstein

I agree! You'll have a better appreciation of Young Frankenstein

Stanley Etienne

This legendary classic is almost a century old, and yet remains one of the greatest and most influential films of all time

Watching Bride of Frankenstein would also be a help with references in Young Frankenstein

So happy you did it this way!!!!! Although lots of people have seen Young Frankenstein not having seen the originals, it's way better having seen at least this first one ("The Bride Of Frankenstein" is also helpful, one of the great sequels) Psyched!!!

I'd also recommend watching Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein since Young Frankenstein borrows heavily from them as well. Especially Son of Frankenstein. It kinda almost borrows the whole story structure from that one.

I also recommend watching "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) before Young Frankenstein, which some will say , it is one of the best horror sequels ever made. At least Bride before Young.

I love that the beginning of the movie had The Monster ? and not revealed that The Monster was played by Boris Karloff. of course already known now, but wonder how that played at the time, Glad you had to order Young Frankenstein, so you can watch this one. I grew up loving the Universal Monster movies. My mom introduced me to them when I was a child. Which grew my love for them all. Then of course all the Abbott and Costello Universal Monster movies later on.

I remember an elder cousin who was born in 1924 telling me that she saw this movie as a child when it come out in the theaters in 1931. She described people being deeply shocked and walking out of the movie midway. I remember wondering why people would have a reaction like that to an old movie. Watching it now, I can see why. Even to this day, depicting the killing of a little girl with her father carrying her dead body is something that would be somewhat taboo in a horror movie. What is also disturbing is what is not graphically displayed, but suggested. Grave robbing, dismemberment, and the sewing of body parts together. Boris Karloff's portrayal of a creature both disturbing and pitiful is legendary. I also agree about the cinematography being fantastic. I like the relatively short run-time of the film as well. It is well-paced and riveting throughout. That was quite serendipitous Ames! Great reaction!

Universal released Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy in the span of one year. Think about that. Hollywood is still making movies based on those three icons. My favorite of the three will always be Frankenstein. The monster is the easiest to sympathize with. The D.O.P. in this had a lot to do with the films artistic endearment. Arthur Edeson was DOP for All Is Quiet on the Western Front, and Casablanca. It is an absolute visual feast of German expressionism. James Whale, the director of this movie, did not want to do a sequel, even though universal immediately wanted to put one out. In 1933 he directed Universal’s The Invisible Man, and then they convinced Whale to direct the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein. As much as I love Frankenstein , Bride is absolutely bonkers, a better movie, and my favorite Universal film. I truly hope that even if you don’t do it before you watch Young Frankenstein, that you get around to watching bride Thanks Ames for watching this. You know how much I love monster films, it’s always a treat to see the classics revisited. By the way, the ? for the monster in the beginning credits was there because no one knew who Boris Karloff was And they wanted to keep some sort of mystery going. For me the ? goes deeper…..because who is the actual monster in this movie? For me it’s always going to be Victor.

Glad no one was too peeved this is what I posted today hahaha ! great film

If you did want to periodically see some other classic Universal Monster movies other than Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein, which are mentioned below, these are the ones I'd recommend: -The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) -The Phantom of the Opera (1925) -The Cat and the Canary (1927) -Dracula (1931) -The Mummy (1932) -The Invisible Man (1933) -The Wolf Man (1941) -Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) -Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) -Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

This last Halloween I grabbed the 30 film Universal Monsters blu-ray collection, and watched Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and the Invisible Man. All still great movies. Frankenstein and the Invisible Man were favorites. Thanks for the surprise viewing!

Karloff is GOAT! Whether it's in a James Whale masterpiece or some Roger Corman shlock, he always gives a captivating performance. His other pre-code Universal horror films like The Mummy, The Black Cat, and Bride of Frankenstein are definitely worth a watch.
