“Seen today, Whale’s masterpiece is more surprising than when it was made because today’s audiences are more alert to its buried hints of homosexuality, necrophilia, and sacrilege.” — Roger Ebert
In one of the most enduring horror classics, Boris Karloff stars as the screen’s most misunderstood monster who now longs for a mate of his own. Dr. Frankenstein thus creates an ill-fated bride for him, embodied in an indelible performance by Elsa Lanchester. Directed by James Whale and featuring a haunting musical score by Franz Waxman, The Bride of Frankenstein is a brilliant and bizarre example of gothic horror (1935, 75 min, 35mm). Preceded by Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, a delightful homage to Frankenstein featuring a bull terrier named Sparky. (1984, 30 min)
