I love how this movie starts with Mary Shelley, the author of the original novel, recalling the first movie, even though it deviated considerably from the book
I freaking love this movie <3 I went to rent it at a movie store by my house, and they didn't have it! they didn't even have the original Frankenstein. I was pretty ticked off! I mean seriously, EVERYONE should hav the classics at lease!
There is a great line about Universal and the classic Frankenstein monster, from the terror of Boris Karloff's creature to Fred Gwynne's charmingly monstrous man-child Herman Munster: "The Frankenstein Monster was created by Universal, survived because of Universal, and still continues to survive despite Universal."
That great Franz Waxman score! The "Creation of the Female Monster" section marked the first time ever that the theremin was used in an American film score. Waxman had a great gift for musical parody as well, paraphrasing the NBC tone for the main theme (thanks to the RCA-style electrical fireworks in the lab). Also, note the zimbelstern when the completed female creature emerges, as if it were a star exiting a limo at a Hollywood premiere. A great and still-chilling classic.
we got to watch this in my creative writing class :D i loved it so much! but the bell rang right when the guy said "the bride of frakenstine!" i literally shouted out "nooo!!!"
I find this to be my favorite of all the old horror pictures.It seemed to have something that I did not see in the others and it has some awesome looking women back then.
@cstoczyn Really? Well, I just finished reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and his name was Victor Frankenstein. Maybe I'm just thinking of someone else? I'm not sure *shrugs* I know Vic's dad is Alphonse and his brother is William so... I don't know a Henry. Unless it's one of his brothers I forgot. He had another brother I think...
I love the way the first scene contains a snapshot preview of the last scene. When Elsa pricks her finger and the men rush to her side, at around 4:53 they are holding the same positions as when the doctors help the bride take her first steps, at the end. James Whale did that deliberately, it's a very interesting effect.
@PianoMan53100 Byron's furiously rolled Rs are more typical of a rather hammy actor (like John Barrymoore) than a great lyrical poet, and no member of the aristocracy would have lowered himself to be a mere actor in those days. Note however the authentic touch of his limp (he had a deformed foot). which is often omitted to make him more glamorous even in modern movies where his character appears.
Oddest thing there is a scene in the book where Dr. Frankenstien does create a mate for the Monster, but he destroys it before it's completed. Essentually Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein are a full (though very liberal) adaptation of the novel
Nice homage to the legend surrounding Shelly's inspiration for the story there was one other story produced that night, The Vampyre which would ultimatally become in an inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula
@theman2017inc it was awesome wish they did more horror these days not teen slasher crap I mean tidy horror van helsing was a decent enough attempt by the wolfman was well lacking soemthing.
happy halloween every one... I just LOVE this movie - it's got so much going on. Director, cast,acting, script, music, editing, lighting, etc., etc., just enjoy this AWESOME SEQUEL....
PS It really sucks when I go to see a movie made in 1935 and it's of a better quality than a movie that was made in 1951. WTF ! (I already know the answer to this rant, I just had to put it down it print somewhere lol)
