The terrified nameless citizenry of 1950s b-movies dressed in colorful outfits are caught in horrified poses as they scream, flee and try to shoot their way out of certain death from off-screen monsters looking to squash them, natural disasters, giant crickets and alien landings.
*** Please Read Below to Get a Better Understanding Of The Make-up***
As everyone knows by now, there have been countless Hollywood creations, BBC productions and various other independent films based off of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but none of them have stayed true to the book, as they have all drifted away from the book and landed in some distant land, in some other pasture where they attempted to build their own creation, their own story by twisting it and basically completely ignoring the true 'story' behind this original, gothic and tragic tale.
Not only were these films quite swathed in their own splendor, but the make-up for the "monsters" of these films which were to depict Frankenstein's creation were also interweaved and ignored in regards to Mary Shelley's descriptions (but don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but only dream of a director creating the "definitive version" of Frankenstein).
The make-up here, as you see, was hand-made by my uncle over a semi-lengthy period of time using various ingredients from various sources (Dick Smith's Do It Yourself Monster Make-up book being the most popular) as well as experimenting with various other "thought-up" ways of creating hand-created make-up conglomerations to create the hideous creature that Mary Shelley described in her book over 190 years ago.
The make-up took about 3 hours to apply (including the wig) of which was carefully examined. Then came the lighting of which was used in many different ways during the threaded spools of this project. This particular "portrait" was the strongest of them all, but there are others that were interesting as well of which may or may not be uploaded in the future.
Further-on, below I have provided two passages from Mary's descriptions from the book, of which I have also highlighted the most "important" portions...
Chapter 5
How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!--Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.
Chapter 24, September 12th ---
Over him hung a form which I cannot find words to describe–gigantic in stature, yet uncouth and distorted in its proportions. As he hung over the coffin, his face was concealed by long locks of ragged hair; but one vast hand was extended, in colour and apparent texture like that of a mummy.

All-in-all, this is basically our version of how the monster would have appeared had the descriptions from the book been followed properly.
