CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The horror classic in which an obsessed scientist (Colin Clive) assembles a living being (Boris Karloff) from parts of exhumed corpses.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Still regarded as the definitive film version of Mary Shelley's classic tale of tragedy and horror, Frankenstein made unknown character actor Boris Karloff a star and created a new icon of terror. Along with the highly successful Dracula, released earlier the same year, it launched Universal Studio's golden age of 1930s horror movies. The film's greatness stems less from its script than from the stark but moody atmosphere created by director James Whale; Herman Rosse's memorable set designs, particularly the fantastic watchtower laboratory, featuring electrical equipment designed by Kenneth Strickfaden; the creature's trademark look from makeup artist Jack Pierce, who required Karloff to don pounds of makeup and heavy asphalt shoes to create the monster's unique lurching gait; and Karloff's nuanced performance as the tormented and bewildered creature. Frankenstein was greeted with screams, moans, and fainting spells upon its initial release, obliging Universal to add a disclaimer in which Edward Van Sloan advises the faint of heart to leave the theater immediately. If they don't: "Well...we've warned you." Director James Whale was memorably embodied by Ian McKellen in the Oscar-winning 1998 biopic Gods and Monsters.

I remember when my great grandma told me about when her and her friends went to see Frankenstein and they said they had to sleep in the theater because they were too scared to walk home
I’ve seen your comments everywhere.
Hahaha what an epic life your granny lived!
They slept all alone in the theater..? That must be more scary than the road
Society was so much different lol
My parents saw this movie the first week it opened at the Loews Paradise Theatre in 1931. My mother told me there were nurses walking around the theatre reviving patrons who feinted after the monster was first exposed to the viewers. (After he came up the stairs backwards, turned, and we all saw that "handsome face).
No one who had a clue what the monster looked like when the film premiered in 1931. Boris Karloff was an unknown actor who only played bit parts.
This preview is from the 1937 rerelease of Frankenstein. They started out with millions have been thrilled. Also, in the original release no one saw the Monsters face until it appeared in the film. The actual original 1931 movie poster only showed a figure walking holding a lantern. NOT the monsters face. They kept it a secret to shock individuals when presented it in the film. This was a clever way of scaring people.
Smart move
Wow 89 years old now, i remember as a kid in the early 60s watching all these great classic horror movies on Shock theatre every fri night...great movies and great memories of a better time.
Nearly 91 now

Thank you
Jack Pierce is one of the biggest reasons why universal was so successful in making the most famous horror movies of all time
I'm laughing at people who think trailers that reveal too much of the plot is a new trend in Hollywood. This trailer literally shows the entire movie.
Universal did trailers for re-releases of their classic films in the 50s and so on, so a lot of this footage wouldn’t necessarily have been in the advertising in 1931. These trailers would function more to remind people of a classic movie which is why Karloff (and Lugosi in the Dracula trailer) are mentioned as basically legends even though they weren’t known before those films.
Max Monas I agree that people shouldn’t complain so much about modern trailers. Keep in mind though that before tv and the internet, no one had any way to see trailers outside of theaters. They put as much content into trailers as possible because if you didn’t see the movie when it was in theaters, you probably never saw it.
Well, it had been a novel for over a century...who wouldn't know the basic idea of the plot already? lol. Of course, the movie took many liberties with the novel...sadly.
Who here... As a kid, always thought frankensteins monster was called Frankenstein when really it was only called "The Monster"...how many people?
one of the greatest movies ever made.
Fascinating to think that at the time this was such a big deal that people were genuinely terrified and would faint during this movie.
Nowadays it seems cheesey and a little kid could probably watch it no problem.
Never saw film like that in those days like frankinsten...now it's nothing lol
Frankenstein was harmless he wasn't evil only monsters were the people driven by fear to kill him.
Shelly was very clever in writing this biting comment on society. They make the monster then blame him for the trouble. They didn't make him good they made him bad. The monster didn't want trouble he wanted love.
What is truly amazing about this movie--and its even BETTER sequel (which is rare in moviedom) was it hasn't lost its power to horrify and entertain. The acting stands up, the story is beguiling and intriguing, the sets were wonderful (especially with Kenneth Strickfaden's electrics) and people still remember it to this day. How many other science fiction or horror movies can make that claim? I think even more important is that the movie seized the audiences and motivated them to want more of this genre from the studios (particularly, Universal) and give it a serious claim in motion picture history importance.
Happy 90th anniversary, Frankenstein!!
Released 11/21/1931!
The bride 2025 is it remake movie of the frankenstein?
NOBODY, Could play The Frankenstein Monster like William Pratt, AKA Boris Karloff
Bela Lugosi turn it down the role of the monster thankfully Karloff performance makes the film and makes it legendary
@@mickirving6779 however Lugosi appeared as the monster in frankenstein meets wolfman (1942)...its funny how he stated he never thought he'd be good... Both him and Karloff were good... But Karloff is the best
This is the most thrilling, shocking, horrifying classic I've ever seen!
I'm hoping to watch this soon. I'm glad the lab equipment made it into The Young Frankenstein
my boy madlib brought me here
Although Frankenstein was made in 1931 this trailer is for the re-release. Realart Pictures bought the rights to all the early Universal horror films and re-released them in the 1940s. I doubt if the original version even had a trailer, as trailers didn't become common until the late 1930s.
Someone claimed to have the original 1931 FRANKENSTEIN theatrical trailer and this person was holding it for an exorbitant price. May have disintegrated by now.
Incidentally, Universal had trailers as far back as 1925 for PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
Thank you for that additional touch of history. Picking up even a seemingly small detail as that adds to my overall understanding & appreciation of an Era before I was born, my parents & grandparents might have possibly seen this film in its initial theatrical release. I saw it on television before moving to San Francisco, & had the privilege of seeing it screened on the large screen as it was intended by the director/production company.
Yeah, Karloff wasn't even credited in the first release I believe, thats why I was so confused.
Interesting stuff
WOW !!! I i just love coming on to youtube and reading all the "Wonderfull" comments .... Everyone thinks they're a movie critic ....
Why can't people just enjoy these movies for what thy are & the time they were made in ........ These movies are highly praised as Cinema Greats & some of you are Critiquing them as if they are being made today ..... WITH THE EXCEPTION of Very few of today's horror movies .... Most of them will never compare to these great classics
Whoa there- this is the 1936 RealArt trailer, not the original 1931 trailer. Please correct!
It will go down as the most scariest horror classic forever I watched it when I was about 11 and I'm 60 now it still scares me it's just brilliant.
Very sad but beautiful classic
This was a re-release trailer, Possibly from the 1940s or 50s.
'Re-released by Realart",
I Love these old Movies without blue/green Screen CGI.
I just watched this 1931 classic and overall I liked it! I will say, it holds up very well for being so old. Unlike so many old monster movies where the monster is clearly wearing a rubber suit, this looks real. I just didn't care for the abrupt ending. I would have liked to see a quick wrap up scene with the engaged couple speaking about things. But that's just me.
I love to see the classic horrors of the 1930's such as this etc but there sadly rarely shown on British TV apart from occasional on the TCM channel.
But it's available now on BLURay, and the source available is much more complete than the version I saw in a London theater in the winter 1962-1963.
If this were released today, people would've bombed this trailer after watching it. Going on about how Frankenstein's Monster is this dangerous, evil creature, when he's actually more of a lost puppy that's constantly being hounded by people that are blindly afraid of it.
The Illest Villains!
The GZA, God Damn!
@@muttleywithslicklaughter6575 Cool
I saw this movie when I was 8 years old on PBS. I remember trippin some hard balls then and I wasn't even on drugs.
My favorite with movie Boris Karloff. Thanks for the trailer
Sadly this isn't the original.
Did they even have trailers in 1931? This (font) definitely is 1950s reminiscent but did they even need trailers in the 1931? The movie was announced in papers, I guess the trailer concept came much later.
@@icanliveforever1243 Of course it is
It's NOT the 1931 original trailer, but from the re-release in the 1950s !
The film is a lighter tone than the book.
i totally agree
agreed
@@cedriksamson5733 I agree to

"Frankenstein" could have been such a different film if Robert Florey had made his own version. His would have been more grim and disturbing. Lugosi as the creature would have been a one dimensional killing machine.
It's your opinion, not mine. Whale was much talented than Florey, and I always found Karloff much better than Bela. And WHO dreams of an "one dimensional killing machine" anyway ?
That's it just blame the poor monster,like it's all his fault.Everyone needs a scapegoat ha ha.
Classic horror film
Poor Monster
not his fault he was made alive
ALL DR. FRANKENSTEIN (the scientist) FAULT
HE COULD HAVE MADE THE MONSTER PRETTIER BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yes gotta see this in full
Ever wondered why there is thunder over frnakenartien's "now I know what it feels like to be god!" Line? Here's why: the line offended so many religious groups for its incredible blasphemy back in the 30s, and also because the ****ing Motion picture production code (which was not in effect yet when the film was originally released) thought it was blasphemous, that the producers had to edit it out (and out thunder over Henry saying thr line.)
But in a way, perhaps unintended, it adds to the excitement of seeing it, plus provided historical perspective for those of us who grew up not understanding such matters....Take it a bit further...the concept of Grave Robbing! That was a heinous thing & horribly shocking. Seeing that on the big screen for a devout Christian or Jewish person would have doubtless provided a sense of horror in a degree that would have been almost unimaginable in our 21st Century way of seeing urban conformity to the bizarre.
@@MyTimeOutt No joke. God give us light, to overcome horrible creatures like that. Especially frankenstein.
Just a movie relax bruh
He's just misunderstood!
Man, I wonder why horror films were so simplistic with their scaring back in the day. Why were people so easy to scare? I wonder what would happen if you showed a person from this time a movie like A Nightmare On Elm Street... I wonder if we are like those people, and horror is only going to continue on the path it's on and get more and more terrifying with time
No, probably not. Horror hit its peak 'scariness' by the 1970s. That's not to say that no films after the 70s have managed to be as scary. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that the techniques used in those days are the exact same techniques used today. The 'fake-out' scare, the tense music buildup followed by silence which is followed by a loud noise, the vague image in the foreground that is scary because you can't quite make it out, etc. All of that was in full use by the 1970s. In fact, a lot of the ghost/possession movies made these days wouldn't be out of place in the 1970s and 1980s. They got most of their tropes from The Exorcist (1973) and the Amityville Horror (1979).
Entertaining the notion of grave robbing to piece together body parts to bring life back from the dead had (and still does in some circles) HUGE moral & ethical implications. Would you go to a grave & dig up a recently deceased body & proceed with the surgical process? Probably not, most families, even in the Middle West, can no longer afford the extreme costs of a full scope funeral. So, now, the audience, assuming it is there, must be younger, has never been exposed to a full scope funeral, nor ever had a telephone conversation on a rotary dial telephone. The times & technology have changed. But, to me, this is an eerie creepiness of opening a grave. Somethings, you just don't do....even in today's 21st Century.
@@MrThegamemasterlord --I was shocked beyond belief the first time I watched The Silence of the Lambs. It took me several years before a saw a 'camp' version of a pre-screening, acted out on stage, before I was able to let go of the horror.
@@MyTimeOutt I wasn’t, even so i would be running out of here screaming.
@@browngirlinaclownworld2077 One of the scariest movies ever made (besides "Frankenstein" and its predecessor film genre) was "Rosemary's Baby." No gore, no fancy horrific makeup, no monster--we don't even see the Devil's child! That's a fearsome film. Meaning: you don't need the visual "monster" to frighten you.

"It's alive!!" you mean... he doesn't have a penis?
He does. Otherwise they wouldn't have implied that he was the first of his race.
Micheal Polant Then the word should have been "HE'S" not "IT'S". You don't refer to a man as "it". That was my point which you apparently didn't get.
TruthSurge People call thing's "it" even if they have a gender.
Dr. Frankenstein called the creature "it" because he thought of it as an uncivilized thing not deserving of any humanizing
Really? He thought that before "it" came alive? Why would he think that before since he was simply animating what was a man just from other men's parts?
A huge spoiler in the end of the trailer.
Kid Kuririn This wasn't the original trailer. This was for a re-release.
