The Bride of Frankenstein is a film that was created in 1935
by Mary Shelley after her previous film Frankenstein. The actors in this
classic movie were Elsa Lanschaster as the Frankenstein’s bride Mary Shelley,
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein himself, Collin Clive as Henry Frankenstein, and
Ernest Thesiger as Doctor Septimus Pretorius. The Bride of Frankenstein is an
American romantic comedy and a science-fiction horror film. This creative film
is about Dr. Pretorius curiously wanting to create new life once again. While
the doctor is busy doing this, Frankenstein is constantly on the run trying to
hide from society because they fear him and his lack of self-control. This
groundbreaking film was nominated for an Oscar award and won two Saturn awards.
Although this film was made 83 years ago, it still lives on
today. How you might ask? Well this movie has been reproduced as kid movies
today. We can see this in the movie “Hotel Transylvania” as Kevin James plays
the character of Frankenstein. Another common way that this movie is alive (pun intended) is Halloween night.
On Halloween night, the famous Frankenstein is almost everyone’s go to costume.
With bolts coming out from both sides of
his neck, who wouldn’t want to be Frankenstein? Obviously the way that kids
dress as Frankenstein has become more modern, but the idea of the character
still lives on. Many kids, including myself, have dressed up as these very old
but famous characters on Halloween.
This was not my first time watching this movie but every
time I watch it, I act like it’s my first time because that’s how much I enjoy
it! One reason why I enjoyed and chose this movie was because it was in black
and white and I am a fanatic about anything antique! If there was one thing
that I could change was how she rejected poor Frankenstein. That scene broke my
heart… Bit the way each scene transitioned to another was great considering
that this movie was made in 1935. I am very thankful for Mary Shelley and her
brilliant idea to create the Frankenstein series.
