Main Project Intentions & Info:
This project aims to bring tighter editing, improved pacing & stronger continuity to 3 films in Universal's Frankenstein franchise & a tribute film from FOX.
Frankenstein - Bride of Frankenstein - Son of Frankenstein - Young Frankenstein
Many alterations have been made to give each film a quicker pulse, a more modern presentation & a better series continuity all while retaining their original charm.
I've added many sound effects throughout, as these were made before audio tracks featuring extensive foley work.
New title cards bring a visual continuity to the series.
New end credits correct errors & give credit to the previously un-credited.
Each film now ends with a short post-credits shot that leads into the next film.
I've made extensive alterations to each film in order to give my ideal versions life.
Check out the full changelists below for the all the details on each film.

NEW!- Introducing Version 1.1:
This is an update for all 4 films & the music video.
I've implemented some solid feedback & applied a few new changes.
This update is small, but the changes are essential. The higher quality files alone make the update worthwhile.
This thread has been updated with all the current info, but for a layout of the 1.1 updates, changes & tech specs, check out this post.
Version 1.1 is a strong step-up in every way- Video, Audio & Editing.
I really hope that everyone who has enjoyed my work will update.
To check your version, look for a V 1.1 during my opening production logo

EXTRAS:
SOUNDTRACK
This is a little collection of various pieces of score used the Frankenstein [raymix] Series, as well as a few of my favorite Frankenstein-related songs.
I've used the best available mix/master of each track. A couple tracks are stitched together from bits of the film & a few others are exclusive remixes & edits, making this the only place to get them! I've adjusted the gain to make all of the tracks sound like a cohesive album.
Tracklist-
01. Theme From Frankenstein [raymix] - Brenhard Kaun
02. Theme From Bride of Frankenstein [raymix] - Franz Waxman
03. The Monster's Entrance [raymix] - Franz Waxman
04. Theme From Son of Frankenstein [raymix] - Frank Skinner
05. Igor's Horn - Frank Skinner
06. Theme From Young Frankenstein - John Morris
07. The Monster's Lullaby - John Morris
08. Frankenstein's Monster Wants a Wife - Blaster the Rocket Man
09. Weird Science (single version) - Oingo Boingo
10. New Life - Depeche Mode
MUSIC VIDEO
This is a fun MV I put together that takes you through all 4 films.
A tale of terror & tragedy set to a beat you can dance to.
You'll find an uncompressed, HD version in my downloadable Extras.
_______________________________
Peroration:
I've loved the Universal Monsters since I was very young. The films, the characters & the pop culture paraphernalia- It was all a big part of my childhood & formation. I've always been drawn to the classic spooky imagery & atmosphere. From inspiring my Halloween costumes to being the first "old films" I really studied, I have a long history with these characters.
The story of Frankenstein is a favorite of mine. From Mary Shelly's novel to various screen interpretations, it's a theme that really resonates with me.
The 4 films presented here are some of my absolute favorites. They make for an excellent series full of iconic moments, characters & dialog.
I think these versions will thrill you. They may even shock you. They might even horrify you.
So, if any of you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, well...
I've warned you. ; )

A tale of terror & tragedy set to a beat you can dance to.
_______________________________
Peroration:
I've loved the Universal Monsters since I was very young. The films, the characters & the pop culture paraphernalia- It was all a big part of my childhood & formation. I've always been drawn to the classic spooky imagery & atmosphere. From inspiring my Halloween costumes to being the first "old films" I really studied, I have a long history with these characters.
The story of Frankenstein is a favorite of mine. From Mary Shelly's novel to various screen interpretations, it's a theme that really resonates with me.
The 4 films presented here are some of my absolute favorites. They make for an excellent series full of iconic moments, characters & dialog.
I think these versions will thrill you. They may even shock you. They might even horrify you.
So, if any of you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, well...
I've warned you. ; )
