I thought it appropriate to start this site with a celebration of Thomas Edison's landmark film 'Frankenstein'. Made in 1910, it is recognised by some as the birth of Horror, especially on the silver screen. Originally the film was thought to be lost, but thankfully it surfaced in time to celebrate its 100th birthday this year. Now in the public domain, it can be viewed and appreciated by all. I do have a history of this film written which I will post soon. In the meantime, enjoy this historic gem.
