#Frankenstein marks the second outing for Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, and the second for Charles Vance as his father

Hearing the statue of the flayed St. Bartholomew in the Cathedral of Milan is among the strong influences for Del Toro's Creature. #Frankenstein

…and for a fun bit of connective history, here’s a political cartoon about the Crimean War featuring a Frankenstein’s monster made up of Russian war weapons and artillery.

“The Russian Frankenstein and his Monster”, July 15, 1854 in Punch Magazine by John Tenniel...2/

@vanityfair.com article on FRANKENSTEIN has @realgdt.bsky.social setting it during the Crimean War (1853-1856, a few decades after the novel’s third edition).

Seems ol’ Victor is getting his “raw material” from the war with the aid of war profiteer Waltz (trailer / promo images below) and… 1/

Wild to me that the latest trailer for COMPANION more or less gives away the game when the marketing angle has been “go into this knowing NOTHING”

Extremely unimportant and superficial and possibly tone-deaf at this moment but is Lidia Hurst / Lydia Hearst something?

We’re safe for the moment but being vigilant:

The school itself for the Scholomance was said to reside somewhere within a mountain. They play with this a bit in DRACULA UNTOLD where Vlad Tepes discovers an ancient vampire inside Broken Tooth Mountain who passes his curse onto Vlad.

Those who studied at the Scholomance were also said to be weather-sorcerors able to summon and control the weather. This is how Dracula / Orlok creates the storm at sea (Dracula also has the ability to transform into fog).
January 6, 2025 at 7:36 PM
This is actually in keeping with Stoker's novel, where Van Helsing states that Count Dracula (and possibly his family) studied at the Scholomance.

The nuns tell Hutter that, as Solomonari, Orlok learned from the Devil the secret to conquer death, for his corpse to live on after death; he seems to have become a vampire at the Scholomance.
January 6, 2025 at 7:36 PM
In the 2024 film, both the nuns who rescue Hutter and Prof. Von Franz refer to Orlok as "Solomonari". In Romanian & Transylvanian lore, the Solomonars were members of a secret school run by the Devil called the Scholomance where a select group is chosen to study dark sorcery.

Now that #Nosferatu is out, I’d like to crowd-source some insight into this curious exchange between Sievers and Von Franz, where they repeat a passage from Matthew (7:6) and the Prof suddenly recognizes his old friend:
