Is it the first Hollywood show of the pipe organ?

I know that the pipe organ = the standard for the villain. This is a Hollywood tradition, but I seem to have found the originator?

Because before the advent of this tradition, the pipe organ represented religious beliefs and represented gods. At the beginning of this movie, you can still see the shadow of the label of the pipe organ. The doctor played a section of Ich Ruf Zu Dir Herr Jesu Christ on the organ.

It's just being used the other way around. The chants popped out by Dr. Kickel are not sacred at all, and it makes the back chill. The most sacred is the most evil, and the cleanest is the dirtiest. The Hollywood director back then had a lot of ideas.

Although similar stalks have been used up now, the old organ villain is pretty cool.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quotes

  • Dr. Jekyll: My analysis of this soul , the human psyche, leads me to believe that man is not truly one - but, truly two. One of him strives for the nobilities of life. This we call his good self. The other, seeks an expression of impulses that bind him to some dim animal relation with the earth. This - we may call the bad. These two carry out an eternal struggle in the nature of man. Yet, they are chained together - and that chain spells repression to the evil, remorse to the good. Now, if these two selves could be separated from each other, how much freer the good in us would be? What heights it might scale? And the so-called evil, once liberated, would fulfill itself and trouble us no more. I believe the day is not far off, when this separation will be possible.

  • Dr. Jekyll: Sometimes a doctor must hurt you a little to make you well, right?
