The Man from Beyond

by Coolidge Streeter, directed by Burton L. King
After a century of being frozen solid, Howard Hillary is chopped from a mass of arctic ice and thawed out. Given that nobody ever tells him how long he’s been out of circulation, it’s unsurprising that he proceeds to set out to find his beloved Felice.

Normally, we don’t list long-sleep stories, given that they are not true time travel, but this one deserves a spot in the ITTDB, seeing as how it‘s the first long-sleep silent film. As a bonus, you’ll see Houdini doing his own stunts as the frozen man brought to life. The script was based on a story by Houdini.

— Michael Main
He must have loved this Felice, and we may have brought him back to what is, for him, an empty world.
