Discussing adaptations of Victorian craziness

My favorite scene so far is when "Henry Frankenstein" pulls his monster down from the storm to see if his experiment worked. When he pulled the monster down, the monster moved it's hand, and Henry screamed, "it's alive!!! it's alive!!". I think thats classic and hilarious. On every show or cartoon where there's a mad scientist, the scientist always says that. I guess Henry was the original.
My favorite scene is when the monster first walks into the room. It's classic Boris Karloff. It's the first time we actually get to see who the monster is and how they depicted him in the movie [or how Karloff depicted him I suppose]. I love how he fully embraced the character from the lazy eyes to the slow movement to the grunting he used to communicate.
I also wanted to note that during the opening scene I noticed that a lot of you guys commented on how "The Monster" was the only character who wasn't identified in the credits. By leaving his name out, it adds to the suspense of what the monster would look like. Although Frankenstein was Karloff's first film, and at the time he was pretty much unknown, leaving out the name immeadiatly captures the attention of the viewers, and the large question mark draws their attention to "the monster", making it known [before Edward Van Sloan's introducion] that this movie was meant to induce fear.
Ah, how I love black and white horror movies.
My favorite part thus far in the movie would have to be when they struggle to contain the monster. it helps depict the size and strength of the monster when it shows how it takes to men to hold the monster down. i thought it was interesting that the monster didn't like fire, and they used the torch to startle the monster,
My favorite scene in the movie so far was when they were trying to subdue the enraged monster. Karloff makes the monster appear so much more than a resurrected human, with the way he easily overpowers the two men. Even having been tranquilized, he nearly overcomes both of them. It was entertaining to watch sleep finally overcome him, and then to watch the three men struggle to move him out of the way of prying eyes.
My favorite scene so far is the beginning scene in the graveyard. Henry and Victor are hiding behind the grave stone. I just find it hilarious when they peek their heads out. For some reason I couldn't stop laughing. I also found it funny when they cut the body down hanging on the wooden pole and he hit the ground with a thud. I dont know if it was supposed to be funny but nowadays it seemed to be that way.
I don't really know what would be my favorite part of the movie so far, but there is one memorable scene that I liked. The scene where the Doctor's assistant sneaks into a school classroom and steals the violent brain is great. This is just foreshadowing for the creation to be violent and destructive, and it shows the assistants stupidity in it's prime.
My favorite scene by far is the short and small scene when Henry's personal henchman was torturing the monster with the torch. The poor monster seemed helpless. I thought this scene was extremely funny. I was collectively laughing in my chair. I think it is really cool how the director adds humor to a horror story.
My favorite scene is when the assistant dropped the good brain in the College and then gets the brain of an aggressive person because I thought it was fuuny that such a little noise would make him jump so much.
My favorite scene so far was the first scene in the graveyard. It Kind of set the mood for the whole movie by being a little creepy, mysterious (with Frankenstein and his little henchmen) in the background, and a little bit gloomy. I loved it, I think it was a very good way to begin the movie and started the movie out perfectly. Oh and when he climbed to cut the body down, I thought it was hysterical, because the whole scene was just a dead dumby falling and then him jumping from off stage, I mean I understand it was made int he 1930s but it was to funny how bad the "special" effects were back then
My favorite scene in the movie was when the assistant with the hunk-back sneaked into the classroom to obtain the human brain. I thought it was comical how he was startled and dropped the normal brain and without hesitation he grabbed the abnormal brain. This scene shows that Henry's creation had potential to be a normal citizen, however, since the assistant stole the wrong brain it caused his creation to become a "Monster."
My favorite scene in the movie would have to be when the monster was first created by Frankenstein. I thought Frankensteins exclamation of its alive was funny and a classic moment. It was also my favorite scene because i felt that it was an important moment where we were first introduced to the monster and the story began to pick up.
My favorite scene in the movie, is when the angry mob forms. I thinks it's hilarious that they are just going to know who drowned a little girl by looking at them. Furthermore, how can anybody know that the little girl was murdered. It's like the town just really wanted to play angry mob that day.
My favorite scene in the film so far was when Henry's assistant was fighting with the monster. Thats my favorite scene so far because I thought it was funny how the assistant was abusing his authority over the monster and trying to scare it with the fire. Before you know it the monster has taken the authority of the assistant and starts to fight with him. The monster eventually beats the assistant and escapes.
My favorite scene in the movie was the scene of the Monster with the little girl. Although he ultimately ended up killing her, it was on the humorous side to see the girl attempt to play with him. This scene also showed that the Monster wasn't all evil and he had a more gentle side that no one had seen before.
My favorite scene in the film is when Frankenstein's helper is taunting the monster with the torch. I intrigues me how the inferior assistant feels superior to the monster and tries to exploit that feeling of power. However, it eventually back fires on the assistant and leads to his death.
