Bride of Frankenstein (1936) – A Classic Gothic Sequel with Iconic Horror Moments
James Whale’s “Bride of Frankenstein,” released in 1936, is often hailed as one of cinema’s greatest sequels, surpassing the original 1931 “Frankenstein” by Universal Pictures. This gothic masterpiece elevates the franchise with heightened pathos, refined visuals, and sharper scares.
Elsa Lanchester’s brief but memorable title role as the Bride of Frankenstein remains an enduring icon in horror aesthetics, with her look being imitated and celebrated for generations. However, it also offers a surprising and delightful touch of zany comedy, including a sequence featuring a miniature Henry VIII in a jar.
