 In
1920, the great Harry Houdini starred in The Master Mystery; a
fifteen-part serial that introduced one of the first robot villains to
the screen.
Actually, it turns out in the
end that it's really a man who calls himself "The Automaton" and runs
about in a robot suit for no thoroughly examined reason, which means
that we have a two for one deal here: One of, if not the first robots
in the cinema and the prototype for every blasted Scooby Doo plot ever
written. |
