THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
The anticipated sequel to Frankenstein (1931) directed again by James Whale dazzled audiences by making good on its promise: “Frankenstein meets his mate.” An equal to the first film (with some considering it perhaps even better), it holds the distinction of being considered the best movie sequel ever produced to date. The design of The Bride, applied by expert makeup artist Jack Pierce, is as iconic as the Frankenstein Monster’s appearance, both instantly recognizable. Interestingly, the correct term for Frankenstein should be “Frankenstein’s Monster,” or simply “The Monster.” Popular culture simply calls the monster “Frankenstein.” Similarly, the “Bride of Frankenstein” is known as “The Bride” where her technical name should really be “The Monster’s Mate.” There is no actress credited to the character in the opening credits for The Bride of Frankenstein, merely a question mark following the actress whom history knows well, Elsa Lanchester.
