Bride Of Frankenstein (1935) - 7/8

[teceyS3]

What's interesting is we're all electrical beings~ so Mary Shelley wasn't far off in concept when she wrote the story.

[ghosthunter2010100]

I love this movie. It's very good. But, why is it called, "The Bride of Frankenstein" if they only show her towards the very end?

[TheMagentaPhoenix]

aww, frankk, she doesn't hate you.. she's just not cool with you trying to feel her up on the first date (;

THE BRIDE YET LIVES!

[BAS1630]

She's so birdlike except when she hisses like a kitty, lol.

[GypsyFairy85]

@BAS1630 Elsa said she based that hiss on the sound a swan makes. I love it.

[studogable]

love the part at 9:00

[jewel1260]

I love the angles that the doctors faces are shot in black & white. You can cut the tension in the air with a knife. The atmosphere and the music that goes with it is phenomenal. What a classic that stands the test of time unchallenged to this day!

[NYG4LIFE123]

"She hate me....like others" That was actually kind of heartbreaking.

@NYG4LIFE123 Poor Frankenstein

[Leatherbubba]

Why does the monster tell Pretorious to stay? Does he realize that Pretorious is evil, and should die too?

[cstoczyn]

@Leatherbubba IDK

[Darksider087]

i like how the monster gets really good at speaking, with some work almost fluently lol

the blind dude must of been one hell of a teacher lol

[cstoczyn]

Dwight Frye seems to get killed in all these Universal classics

[MzSunnyJeep]

The one thumbs down must be The Bride of Frankenstein. Girl, I don't blame ya, your hair was wack XD

[JoshSitar]

I can't be the only one that thinks the bride is actually pretty hot.

[zakuryeuh]

@JoshSitar yeah, i'm with you, man

[Silverwire100]

James Whale knew how to evoke great eccentric performances from his actors. Whale is the master of eccentricity.

[WorldWatcher9]

they HAD to reanimate her during her cycle...you cant win

[yourVeiledLodger]

Monster is so heartbreaking and sweet, you can only love him.

...Well, Karloff is one of those actors who I could watch even if they played just some little unimportant role in some cheap rubbish film. Yes, Bela Lugosi also belongs to my group ;D

[Beerlejuice]

Aaghh women, can't live with them, can't live without em, you reanimate em and they still give you problems Jesus Christ

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

Absolute genius

[powergirl07]

Awww! The Monster's so cute when he's in love. I mean, he's cute normally, but when he says 'friend', it's such a 'd'awwww' moment!

I feel dead bad for him though, he's soooo adorable!

[ViciousDelicious805]

I wish they didn't die in the end they woulda made a cute couple :/ haha

[ViciousDelicious805]

Well since the story of frankenstein is set in the early 1800's, the torches and such isn't so far off ya know.

[MORKOS621]

The Universal monster movies seemed to have been set outside of any time period. See how they’re wearing 1930s clothes and yet still go around carrying torches and riding on horsedrawn carriages. And Pretorius called his phone an electric listening device.

[Flaaatt]

@MORKOS621 dont forget that its the great depression and i think theyre in Europe

[MORKOS621]

@Flaaatt The only indication that it was still set during the depression was the fact that enough time had elapsed since 1891 for a body to turn into a skeleton.

[micahcareyfilms]

@MORKOS621 A body can turn to a skeleton in a matter of a couple of months, especially beforemodern embalming techniques.. It did not indicate that it was the 1930s by any stretch. It could have been 1893.

[MORKOS621]

@micahcareyfilms I guess you’re right. In Son of Frankenstein, the watch the monster gave to little Peter was originally given to Benson by his father in 1901. Also, Wolf Frankenstein mentions that cosmic rays were unknown in his father’s time.

[micahcareyfilms]

@MORKOS621 Also remember that in 'Son of Frankenstein' Wolf mentions that he doesn't remember his late father, and that the will would be read only after there had been no siting of the monster for 25 years. Son clearly takes place in the 1930s based on the automobile seen early in the film. So the last siting of the monster would be in 1914. Ygor says the monster was in a coma from being struck by lightning, meaning that event took place after the events in 'Bride of Frankenstein'

[micahcareyfilms]

Wolf appears to be about 39 (Rathbone was about 48 though) meaning he was born about 1900. If he can't remember his dad, he must have been about 3 or 4 years old when his father died, placing Henry's death roughly in 1904-1905. This would mean Bride took place prior to Wolf (or Ludwig's) birth around 1900 but after the death of the female corpse in 1891. So probably it happened somewhere from 1893 to about 1897 or so.

[MORKOS621]

@micahcareyfilms What I don't get is how come the costumes are a mix of 19th and 20th century fashions?

[MORKOS621]

Elsa Lanchester's most famous role.

[Nagneto]

Even back from dead, woman are so FICKLE.

[monsta64]

Maybe Frankenstein should have tried eHarmony.com. With their 29 points of compatibility, I'm sure some women would've like him.

[onemooners]

go fly a kite

[daguello]

The look she gives Colin Clive at 8:36 is classic!
