Life Without Soul was a silent American horror film released back in 1915. It was written by Jesse J. Goldberg and directed by Joseph W. Smiley. This was the second film adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein.

It told the tale of a wealthy physician who discovers a "Fluid of Life" that can animate the dead. While reading Shelley's Frankenstein, Frawley falls asleep and dreams about animating a clay statue called "The Creation" (Played by Percy Standing). After witnessing the horrors of the monster, Frawley awakes from his dream and destroys the elixir.

The film has been lost for many years and has not yet surfaced. It is unknown if any copy of the film still exists.
