Bride of Frankenstein
More fearful than the monster himself!
Directed by James Whale
Produced by Universal Pictures, James Whale Productions
A gothic horror-comedy that balances genuine dread with theatrical absurdity, exploring themes of creation and monstrosity through a blend of dark atmosphere and campy melodrama.
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive after being attacked by an angry mob. The now-chastened scientist attempts to escape his past, but a former mentor forces him to assist with the creation of a new creature.
