This "throwing her in the pond" scene was censored out upon its 1931 release and subsequently lost until 1980's when it was rediscovered in the collection of the British national film archives....

Karloff was never happy with this scene and was pleased to see it censored as he felt that it removed any sympathy for the monster and would also shock the viewing audience. There was another cut scene that was restored involving Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) shouting to the Heavens: "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God! Now I know what it feels to be God!"

The title of this one alone would have scared me to death as a child , i would have had nightmares....

i will never forget seeing a Frankenstein and Dracula double feature at the theatre in the mid 60's as a child and i had nightmares for weeks.....

in fact i may have even have seen this "die monster die" movie as a child because my Dad loved them , but it was sooooo scary i repressed it from my memory until just now lol

Edit

This movie was based on the Lovecraft story "The colour out of space" in a way it's a similar story to Karloff's earlier The Invisible ray 1936 were a meteorite poisons him. I never warmed to Nick Adams as a lead as it was hard to tell him from the sets (wooden).

Here is another great Dell horror - an adaptation of Creature from the Black Lagoon (my favorite of the Universal monsters). This is the first printing, it proved to be a very popular issue and a second printing was also made.
