Bride's Dead Revisited: Unearthing "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)

Is "Bride of Frankenstein" the greatest horror film ever made? Join us as we dissect this 1935 classic, inspired by a listener email from Susan, and saved for our special Halloween month episode. We promise you’ll gain fresh insights into James Whale's comedic vision, which we liken to Sidney Pollack's dramatic flair in "Tootsie." We’ll debate its standing against other iconic horror films like "The Thing," and explore how humor and campiness contribute to its lasting charm. We'll guide you through the film's significance as a sequel to 1931's "Frankenstein," noting its accessibility even for first-time viewers. Discover the film's faster pace, increased humor, and higher body count—all achieved despite the constraints of the Hays Code.
