jdfr03 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This is a 1912 not so freaky short film. James Cruze's white-haired Dr. Jekyll has secretly locked himself in his laboratory administering himself with a phial of formula. He slumps into his chair with his head on his chest. Slowly, as the drug takes effect, a dark-haired, taloned beast now appears in the chair. After repeated use, Jekyll's evil alter ego emerges at will, causing Jekyll to murder his sweetheart's father. The evil personality scuttles back to the laboratory only to discover that the antidote is finished and that he will be as Mr. Hyde forever. A burly policeman breaks down Jekyll's door to find that the kindly doctor is dead after taking poison.Here's the video: This is the first surviving Jekyll and Hyde film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdfr03 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I had no idea this would still be intact after 101 years. Actually, it has been around for 104 years because there was a 1908 lost film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWM Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Actually, it has been around for 104 years because there was a 1908 lost film. I meant this film. The actual book has been around for 127 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
