The Movie: Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
What Is It?: The
rare sequel that’s better than the original; the rare movie that’s better than
almost every other movie; the most fun you’ll ever have watching monsters,
murderers, and homunculi. Bride is also the very,very rare Universalmonster movie in which the people are as much fun to watch as the monsters. Everything that comes out of Ernest Thesiger's mouth is spun gold.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1902, Bride Elsa Lanchester
was born.
