SHE’S ALIVE!
After a weekend of vampires, werewolves, mummies, mad scientists, and invisible men, there’s only one way to bring Universal Monster Movie Weekend to a close: Bride of Frankenstein!
Having survived his own creation, Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is once again drawn into the experiments of the sinister Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), who has a new proposition: create a mate for the Monster (Boris Karloff). But while the Monster longs for companionship, Henry’s new creation (Elsa Lanchester) may have a mind of her own.
James Whale returned to the world of Mary Shelley for this extraordinary 1935 sequel, expanding the original’s themes and making them somehow more tragic. From Elsa Lanchester’s unforgettable entrance as the Bride to Karloff’s heartbreaking performance, Bride of Frankenstein is widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made, and one of the rare sequels that surpasses its predecessor.
