Edison’s ten-minute Frankenstein (1910) is a fascinating early take — skipping the later “lightning-bolt/electricity” iconography (that wasn’t present in Shelley either, but got cemented by Universal) in favor of something stranger...

A chamber where the creature literally grows from skeleton, to sinew, to skin. It weirdly prefigures — and maybe even inspired — Frank’s resurrection in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser (1987).

The finished monster also bears an uncanny resemblance to the Penguin from Batman Returns, making this short possibly influential on Tim Burton as well, a known fan of early horror. For a century-old reel, it’s surprisingly ahead of its time.
