1935 Episode 1 (2) - "Bride of Frankenstein" Directed By: James Whale
Release Date: April 22, 1935
What if the Monster didn’t die? What if, after the smoke cleared and the villagers went home, the story of Frankenstein had one more terrifying heartbeat left?
That’s exactly where James Whale takes us in 1935’s The Bride of Frankenstein — a sequel that doesn’t just reanimate the monster, it reanimates the entire genre. This isn’t your typical follow-up. It’s weirder, wilder, and smarter — equal parts horror and dark comedy, all wrapped in gothic style and electricity.
Boris Karloff gives the Monster a soul, Elsa Lanchester gives the Bride a legend, and Whale gives us one of the most striking films of the decade.
So light the candles, clear the lab table — because tonight, we bring The Bride of Frankenstein to life.
