New Take on Bride of Frankenstein

In 1816, Mary Shelley finished writing the story of one of the most terrifying and haunting monsters of all time at the age of 19. Two years later, the novel was published under an anonymous name becoming a spine-chilling tale to read for years and years to come. In 1931, this haunting tale went from words on a page to life on the big screen bringing a whole new experience to the storytelling of the classic horror monster. Masterfully directed by James Whale with brilliant performances by Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Baron Henry von Frankenstein. Four years later, the three teamed back up to finished the story, bringing about the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein.

Our story starts off where the original leaves off, except one tiny detail, the monster lives under the burning house. Finding his way out, he searches the town trying to find companionship and a place in this world. Once again, we find this inevitable. Our old mad scientist, Dr. Frankenstein, has turned over a new leaf and is now finding himself on a quest to marry his love Elizabeth (Valerie Hobson) and forgive himself for creating the abomination monster. With a new and even madder scientist Dr. Pretorius, played brilliantly by Ernest Thesiger, the plot darkens. With his own experiments with creation, Dr. Pretorius is now on his own quest to build a mate for the lonely monster using Dr. Frankenstein has his “mate”. With brilliant storytelling effects, unforgettable side humor and a spine chilling plot we find the rest of horror classic story of the monster in Frankenstein.
