Frankenstein (1910)


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



In Thomas Edison’s adaptation of Frankenstein, the creature is depicted as a ghastly creature with skeletal and clawed hands, a hunched back, wild hair, and a seemingly sallow complexion (Mills). As the film is in black and white, it is hard to tell exactly what color the Creature’s skin is, but it is of a paler complexion than his later adaptations, and as shown in the image above of the figure that was made of the creature in the 1910 film, his skin is in fact of a sallow complexion.
