Frankenstein 1910
Frankenstein is a 1910 American short silent horror film produced by Edison Studios and generally recognised by film historians as the first screen adaptation of Shelley’s work. It was directed by J. Searle Dawley, who also wrote the one-reelers screenplay, broadly basing his “scenario” on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. The small cast, which is not credited in the film, includes Augustus Phillips as Dr Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as the monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor’s fiancée.
