Frankenstein:
James Whale's iconic adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel follows the mad scientist Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) as he attempts to create life by assembling a creature from body parts of the deceased. Aided by his loyal misshapen assistant, Fritz (Dwight Frye), Frankenstein succeeds in animating his monster (Boris Karloff), but, confused and traumatized, it escapes into the countryside and begins to wreak havoc. Frankenstein searches for the elusive creature, and eventually must confront his tormented creation. (USA, 1931, 70 mins, English | Dir. James Whale)
Bride of Frankenstein:
Boris Karloff reprises his role as the misunderstood monster in one of the greatest sequels ever made. After surviving the angry mob’s attempt to destroy him, Dr. Pretorius decides to create a mate for the monster. He enlists the monster’s original creator, Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive), by kidnapping Dr. Frankenstein’s wife (Valerie Hobson). But even the monster’s bride (Elsa Lanchester), a grotesque beauty with a frizzled shock of hair, rejects the monster by screaming at him in horror. Dejected, the monster goes on a violent rampage. (USA, 1935, 75 mins, English | Dir. James Whale)
