Part of my 100 Frankensteins Project! I'm up to number 10!
Here are the files for my papercraft Frankenstein. You can see the finished product here.
I didn't really have much of a plan when I started making this. I drew the front view of the Frankenstein monster in InDesign, then deconstructed him and added the sides and back pieces. I got kind of carried away on the size. I didn't realize how big he was until I started building him. He's almost 11" tall! He looked a lot smaller on the monitor. I couldn't fit everything onto one sheet of paper, so I had to spread the parts out over two.
I printed him out and built him to see if there were any problems with my layout. I was sure I'd need to make some tweaks. I was shocked when everything fit together fine on the first try!
Feel free to download, print and build your own. You'll have to click "View all sizes," and then click "Original size" in order to print him out at actual size. I was afraid it might be confusing to upload two separate files, so I put them both into one big image. Once you download them, you'll have to figure out how to print each half to a separate 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. Warning: This file is a whopper!
I recommend printing him on card stock if you have any. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out the pieces. Scissors are too bulky. It's your choice as to whether to use glue or tape to put him together. Ideally glue would look better, but I built mine with invisible tape and it looked just fine. I tried to put the seams or joins in the back as much as possible so that they wouldn't show from the front.
I was afraid he wouldn't stand up by himself since he's so top heavy and has such skinny legs, but he stands up just fine.
You can see the first papercraft monster I did here.
Designed, drawn and laid out entirely in InDesign.

I liked how my Bela Lugosi painting came out so well, I decided it was only logical to try Boris Karloff next. Here he is in his most famous role.
My final entry for the Iron Builder competition against Rod “2 Much Caffeine” Gillies depicts the classic Frankenstein monster turning on his master while Dr. Frankenstein throws test tubes and beakers at him and threatens his creation with a torch.
This build uses 8 of the requisite 5x5 Scala dishes and features a whole lot of not to be missed details.
Thanks for a tough round, Rod. You’re a good guy and a great builder. If you were more local I’d buy you a beer. Really I would.

During face making,i reminiscent of Frankenstein is the use of corpses.
I want the head department break down,and similar to the formation of different pieces of meat.
After the forehead is broken down, you can see the bright red brain.
Nose. The face and back of the head can also be decompose.
This is the last picture for this amazing work. Thanks to everyone.

Ever since I was a kid, my all-time favorite monster has been Frankenstein. Why? Who knows? Maybe it's because deep down he's not really a monster, he's just misunderstood and wants to be loved and accepted like everyone else. Or maybe it's because he's got green skin and a flat head and throws little girls into the lake.
By the way, I know the monster's name isn't Frankenstein, but it's easier than saying "The Frankenstein Monster" every time I mention him.
I can remember trying to stay up on Friday nights to watch horror movies on TV, back in prehistoric times before home video. The movies usually didn't start until midnight, and most of the time I would conk out well before they were over. But when a Frankenstein movie was playing, I was always able to stay awake.
But I digest. Here's my version of the Frankenstein monster.
I've noticed that when I'm sitting around doodling, I end up drawing Frankenstein quite a lot. So for no other reason than because I can, I've decided to start the 100 Frankensteins Project. I'm challenging myself to draw one hundred different versions of Frankenstein (no time limit, just whenever). I doubt if I'll make it, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Creative 52 Challenge 25: Use a Black Light
For this challenge I photographed a glow-in-the-dark Universal Monsters Frankenstein figurine against a fluorescent orange background under a black light using a macro lens. I added the monster's eyes and the Frankenstein text in Photoshop.

Finally, I am finish this purely Frankenstein.
frankenstein, wolfman, and dracula. When i was young, friday late nights these three were my holy trinity of evil. They made me quake and bury my face in the pillow screeming. Nowadays they are hardly considered scary, but to a young boy in the 1960's they were most feared, which is why I loved them so much.
When you want to buy the new Lego Frankenstein Brickheadz but forgot your wallet, once back at home you build your own ;) That's what I did!
It's high time I added to my somewhat neglected 100 Frankensteins Project. So straight from the final frontier we have a mash-up of two of my favorite things: Frankenstein and Star Trek. It's Frankenspock and his lovely fellow officer... Lieutenant Bride of Frankenspock.
When I was sketching out this idea, I originally drew the Monster much, much skinnier; similar to the real Spock. The slim build was truer to both characters, but it just looked sort of meh as a drawing. So I decided to forgo accuracy and beef up the Monster's frame considerably.
I had planned on drawing the Bride's legs wrapped in bandages just like the original character, but I decided against it. I wanted her to look sexy, and bandaged legs just don't look very alluring.
Unlike a lot of people, I don't like listening to music while I draw. I will sometimes turn on the TV though for some background noise. I had the TV on while I was drawing this and guess what came on? Yep, Bride of Frankenstein! Synchronicity!
There was a time when I was I was so into Star Trek that I could have drawn all the details on the uniforms (such as the chest insignia and the sleeve braids) from memory. Sadly, that time has passed. I confess I had to go to one of the numerous Trek reference websites to see how to draw that stuff.
About those female Starfleet uniforms: What kind of an organization would make its members wear such things? I get the real-world reason why the women on the show all wore ultra-short miniskirts: To boost the ratings among the male demographic. And boost them they did! But that doesn't explain the in-universe reasoning. Starfleet is supposed to be this progressive, high-minded equal opportunity organization. These women are all highly trained, intelligent officers. So why make them dress like cocktail waitresses?

For Halloween, I created a tribute to the 3 classic Universal Studios monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman... by recreating their posters, LEGO style.
All three posters also appear in Episode 42 of my LEGO-brick based webcomic, Zombie Outbrick.
youtu.be/1qNeGSJaQ9Q It’s Alive !!!
Still (8" X 10”). Elizabeth (Mae Clarke) receives an unexpected visitor (Boris Karloff) on her wedding night in this dramatic scene from one of Universal's greatest horror films.
Universal Studios made themselves famous for "horror" films in the 1930s. Following the success of their Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, Universal put out a variation on Mary Shelley's story that would become hugely influential for decades. Universal's Frankenstein. Much has already been written about this film, so this review will not attempt to cover everything. James Whale's Frankenstein was a hybrid -- partly a horror movie, but also partly a sci-fi movie. The goal of FrankenFEST is to explore the science fiction aspects of the many Frankenstein films. Some have more "science". Some are more "horror". Some are just silly.
Synopsis
Henry Frankenstein and his hunchback assistant Fritz dig up a recently buried body and take down a hanged man. Henry still needs an undamaged brain, so Fritz sneaks into a medical college to steal one. He drops the first brain-in-a-jar, so takes the second, labeled "abnormal brain." Henry has his creature assembled on a table and awaits the storm's peak for the jolt to infuse life. Just then, his fiancee, Elizabeth, friend Victor and former teacher, Professor Waldman, come knocking at the door of Henry's spooky tower. Reluctantly, he lets them in. Baited by Victor's accusation that Henry is crazy, Henry shows them his experiment. The storm peaks and the creature moves. "It's Alive!" Waldman stays to help. Victor and Elizabeth express worry to Henry's dad, Baron Frankenstein. Meanwhile, Henry shows off his creature to Waldman. It needs time to mature. However, Fritz taunts it with fire, sending the creature into a rage. It murders Fritz. It beats up Henry before Waldman injects it with anesthetic. Victor, Elizabeth and the Baron arrive and take the sick and battered Henry back to the village. Waldman stays to get rid of the monster. Before he can, the anesthetic wears off. The monster kills Waldman and escapes. In the village, all is festive, music and dancing for the wedding. Elizabeth is troubled with premonitions of doom. The monster comes across a little girl who wants a playmate. She tosses flowers in the lake to watch them float. When she's out of flowers, the monster tosses her in to float. She doesn't. The monster is upset and flees. He goes into the village and sneaks into Elizabeth's bedroom. Before he can do anything, her screams bring everyone running. He escapes unseen. Maria's father brings her dead body into town. The Burgomeister organizes three search parties to find the killer. Henry leads the mountain group. The monster finds Henry alone, knocks him out and carries him away. The mob see this and purse them to a windmill. The monster throws Henry from the upper railing, but he catches on a windmill blade, so doesn't die. The mob burn down the windmill. Henry recovers with Elizabeth's doting. The baron makes a toast to a future "son of Frankenstein." The End
The "science" in Whale's Frankenstein is mostly medical or biological. Waldman describes Henry's work as being in "chemical galvanism" and "electro-biology." Henry himself describes the key being "rays" beyond violet in the spectrum. This "Life Ray" is apparently available in electricity. Much of Henry's lab is filled with large things that spark or arc. Electricity is, in this pre-atomic world, the magical stuff that can do wonders. Compare Henry's lab and creation with Rotwang's in Metropolis ('27). The motif of the mad scientist's lab being stocked with sparky things dates back to this era.
Compared to the Novel
The main characters are retained, although the names of Henry and Victor are swapped, for some reason. Universal's screenplay was more of an adaptation of a stage play written by Peggy Webling in 1927. Her successful play had to do something similar to Edison's screenplay, in paring the story down to some basic elements. Whale's film focused more on the hubris of unfettered "science" than on the philosophical elements of creator-creature obligations. The hubris of the "mad" scientist, as a plot trope, would endure many decades into future films.
Iconic Monster -- The famous monster was a combination of make-up specialist Jack Pierce (who created the flat-top head and bolts on the neck) and the characterization given by actor Boris Karloff. Their "monster" was too captivating to the public imagination, too iconic to ever really die -- as we shall see -- that he would reappear in many later films. Little children would dress up as the monster for halloween. Parodies and spin-offs would key off the Pierce-Karloff monster.
Much of the look of the film stems from the artistic style of German Expressionism. This style is a whole topic unto itself. The stark light and dark, the use of up-lighting, the asymmetry and odd angles all enhance the feeling of instability. Nothing is soft. Nothing is "quite right." Contrast Henry's tower with the village sets. They're all normal enough, and almost Disney quaint. The normal world vs. HIS world: dark, unstable and "off". The artistic style of German Expressionism would not remain popular beyond WWII, but its visuals in association with the mad scientist's lab would endure far beyond.
Far back into the 1800s, probably not long after Shelley penned her story, people would often confuse the monster and the man. The monster, in both the novel and the 1931 movie, had no name. He was, like the novel, called only, "my creation", "the monster" or "the fiend." It was Henry who carried the family name of Frankenstein. Yet, to the public imagination, such a strong character as the monster simply could not go nameless. He was often referred to as "Frankenstein" as if that were his name. That's not the case, but it has been a common enough mistake that it has stuck. The monster is more famous than the man.The more famous character gets the name. After all, children do not dress up as Henry (or Victor) Frankenstein.
Aside from the many Expressionist visuals, there is one scene which, though brief, is an interesting inclusion of a famous painting. When the monster accosts Elizabeth in her room, just as he sneaks out, and the others burst in, note Elizabeth's position on the bed. This very brief moment is also captured on the poster art.This seems an unmistakeable visual reference to Henry Fuseli's famous 1791 painting: "Nightmare" .Maybe this something that only art history majors might enjoy, but it was an interesting bit for Whale to include.
A curious note, is how much Frankenstein as a story had become intertwined with the classic vampire story: Dracula. For one, Universal released them both in 1931. Beyond proximity, Universal had originally cast Bela Lugosi as the monster, but he declined the part. Lugosi would, however, end up playing the monster in a few later iterations. As well, Webling's play, which served as source material, also followed a successful Dracula production by the same star. The two characters sprang from very different literary roots and told very different cautionary tales, yet, they would become paired in the popular imagination, as if they were somehow brothers.
Universal's 1931 Frankenstein is a movie classic that is not to be missed. It is a well-told and well-paced story, but more importunely, it is foundational to almost all the Frankenstein films to come.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Winter
The Edgar Winter Band - By the time Edgar Winter left his hometown of Beaumont Texas in the 1960’s, he was already proficient in every aspect of music. A child prodigy, Edgar has found success in music, film and television. Edgar’s immediate impact on the record business with his first record, “Entrance”, was followed up with two hit albums with his band White Trash, and he topped that success with The Edgar Winter Group, creating the number one hit “Frankenstein” as well as the ever-popular “Free Ride”. The album “They Only Come Out At Night” peaked at number 3 on the Billboard charts and stayed on the chart for 80 weeks; on it’s way to double platinum. Edgar invented the keyboard body strap, an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around the stage during his high-energy multi-instrument performances. His live appearances have occurred around the world, and Edgar is known for his own scintillating shows, as well as his riveting collaborations with the likes of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band.

Built in 1903, closed in 1977, this control room in one of Niagaras many hydro-electric plants has not a single digital control in sight. It fascinates me to see the technology used way back. Hand painted numbers and dials for measuring active volts and amperage are augmented by large 'Frankenstein' style switches. Although I couldn't shoot them because they were in pitch black, there are more switches of this type in the basement which are well over 3ft tall and would probably take 3 men to switch. This place warrants many return trips to say the least.
