Default HOLLOWEEN POST: Frankenstein's Tube

In the movie Frankenstein, I remember seeing tubes in the laboratory.
Besides the monster being scary looking, the tubes and electricity in
the laboratory was also very scary.

There was also two large electric bolts. I think that was real because
I had seen things like that in Edison's photos.

I wonder if these tubes were real or made up to make the movie even more
scary? Also, taking consideration the times: It would be normal to see
electric tubes in a lab.

But by today's standard, we would see that as very scary, mysterious,
archaic, even gothic. Just the same way if today we made a movie like
that, we would probably have common looking computers. And people in
the future who no longer use external computers would look back at it
the same way.

If I remember right this was a silent movie of the late 20. I have to
check my Hound Dog Movie Book.
