Yeah I thought WWI also by the look of the brother’s uniform. I may be mistaken, but didn’t “Frankenstein” take place in Austria?
Nope, in Switzerland and Germany, Scotland and near to the North Pole.

What they are going for is the old 1930’s and 1940’s gothic horror look. Black and white film, turn of the century costumes as well as German Officer coats (we saw this in the The Doctor with Dr. Frankenstein’s coat). Most stories like Frankenstein or Dracula took place in countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Romania, etc. The Wolfman took place in turn of the century Whales.
Personally, I wouldn’t get too hung up on the exact country. Like I said, it’s all about showing us that it’s the story book world of classic horror monsters. It’s another time period, in the real world, otherwise Rumple would never have been able to access it. It’s a fantasy world of gothic horror novels and movies.
Agreed, it’s not so important exactly which country. It’s a world mimicking a fictional genre and how it was envisioned at some point.
Nevertheless find it interesting that they deviate from classic Frankenstein here and put the Frankensteins in a fictional Austria. Not important but interesting. Can’t help it. :geek:
Have to agree with you on that last point. I have to say that I’m very impressed by your knowledge of Prussia’s history. If anything, all of this Frankenstein stuff will get many people to open up the web (or books), do a little research and learn some interesting facts. Good stuff all the way around. 🙂
PS Meant to say in my original post that it’s another time perirod BUT NOT in the real world.
