Color Footage taken during the filming of Son of Frankenstein (1939)


 No one seems to know for certain if this is home movie footage, as it's commonly considered, or if it is actual color test footage for Son of Frankenstein. Some have said it would show the monster having a green complexion, while it's more commonly believed the shade of green developed by Jack Pierce would have photographed in the proper grey color in black and white, and was never intended to actually be seen as green. Here, Boris Karloff menaces makeup master Jack Pierce.
