THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935), directed by James Whale, is the acclaimed sequel to Frankenstein (1931). The film follows the Monster (Boris Karloff) as he demands that Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) create a female companion for him. As the Doctor reluctantly complies, the Bride (Elsa Lanchester) is brought to life, but her rejection of the … Continue reading Ep. 07-15: Bride of Frankenstein (1935) →
This year's Halloween special of the podcast goes back to 1930s Hollywood with this look at Bride of Frankenstein (James Whale, 1935), the follow-up to Universal Pictures' 1931 feature Frankenstein also directed by James Whale. To discuss the horror and humour of this most monstrous and macabre sequel, Chris and Alex are joined by special guest David Sandner, author and editor of multiple works on fantasy literature and a Professor at California State University. David has published widely on histories of fantasy, including the books The Fantastic Sublime: Romanticism and Transcendence in Nineteenth-century Children's Fantasy Literature (Westport, 1996) and Critical Discourses of the Fantastic, 1712-1831 (Routledge, 2011), alongside the edited collections Fantastic Literature: A Critical Reader (Praeger, 2004) and The Treasury of the Fantastic with Jacob Weisman (Tachyon, 2013). Topics for this spooky instalment include the film's status as a work of fantasy and horror, and the framing of Frankenstein's original author Mary Shelley as a practitioner of the fantastic; early cartoon exhibition practices, the notion of “theatre animation,” and the influence of the twentieth century's pervasive culture of animation on Bride of Frankenstein's special effect technologies; questions of adaptation and the new invitations to fantasise made by director James Whale; the film's self-reflexivity around film production; links between size and the sublime, and how an uncanny portrayal of homunculi sites the film's story within screen histories of the miniature; and how Bride of Frankenstein negotiates a pleasure in agency, creation, reanimation, and restoration. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Over time the Fiend learned human speech and had a chance meeting with the unscrupulous Dr. Pretorius.

Vote for My Championed Film "Bride of Frakenstein!" flick got mad visions babe! if I win, I get to host the umbrella episode on the Lambcast. it'll be fun because "Friend" goooood. Alone bad? nah. not if you enjoy your own company mosny as I do. Alone is all there really ever is anyway. Book a Zoom hour with me and I'll prove it to you. do forget to vote for my movie "Bride of Frankenstein. I'll try and not be cranky that day when I host, no promises babe. Here's the text to my review of this sexy horror film that I love!?!? Can I call this charming? A friend who is mentally disabled is cute in a way. We have the protagonist, the monster, We se the monster in this early incarnation desiring a friend. The mad scientist has grand plans. We get to see the monster develop language. We also ss he is sort of capable of making another human happy. I'm thinking of the blind man who gives him food and shelter to heal. In this epic blockbuster horror film, we see a human undead monster and he's still got the drives for companionship.It has the usual mob trying to kill the monster. Through this exciting segment of about 1/2 way we see him as a flawed, even brain damaged human. I couldn't help but feel sorrow for the monster. Bela Lugosi is a prefect actor for this human creature (or is it?). Some of my favorite scenes are the ones with the blind man. They are kindred spirits in that each wants a friend. I got the impression one would get watching a toddler find something shiny and becoming enraptured with it. Putting the monster through torture is what had me glued to the screen. I'm not into torture but I find myself relating with the yearning, longing, and even lusting after a woman or otherwise partner. They are such fine and wonderful creatures those partners. I also related with the block of communication that is present throughout. Did you know the Bible teaches the Tower of Babel was why God confused language for all humankind. It tried to be higher than God so God humbled them. The monster illustrates how horrible it would be to not be able to communicate. There are not many scenes of the actual author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The film however does open with she and Lord Byron commenting on the lovely ghastly storm outside. We see clearly based on the title and the plot, she is to be made into a female monster, for the creature. I love the way they weaved the real life couple into this. Is raises the verisimilitude and leaves us actually wanting to see them together. Unfortunately we don't see much of the female. The latter portion of the film is where we see only her transformation but not much detail. She looks just plain freaky, I like that. I get from her character that she too is unable to communicate. She is quicker moving than the monster. In conclusion, this is to date one of my favorite classic series films. I really enjoy the writing, especially the writing of Byron and Shelley, The film is a delightful hodgepodge of suspenseful orchestra music and top shelf acting. The result is a mind ride to understand why we should never bring the dead back to life. This is an incredibly atmospheric class A horror film. I can give it no lower than a 10/10.
"I hope we can still be friends (not even)!" Eric & Ser examine how love can be so cruel. And how classics can be so ... divisive.Send us a text
Bride of Frankenstein (1935): Directed by James Whale, this classic horror film stars Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Henry Frankenstein. The story follows Henry Frankenstein, who is coerced by his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius (played by Ernest Thesiger), and his original creation, the Monster, to create a mate for the Monster. Despite his initial reluctance, Henry eventually constructs the Bride (portrayed by Elsa Lanchester). However, the Bride rejects the Monster, leading to a tragic and fiery conclusion. The Bride (1985): Directed by Franc Roddam, this film reimagines the Frankenstein story and stars Sting as Baron Charles Frankenstein and Jennifer Beals as Eva. Unlike the original Monster, Eva is physically perfect and human-like. However, she is repulsed by the Monster (played by Clancy Brown) and rejects him, leading to a series of dramatic events. The cast also includes Geraldine Page and David Rappaport.

Bryan and Dave are joined by Tyler Hyde, co-host of the That's Spooky podcast to close out their 2024 Pride series and talk about James Whale's 1935 Magnum Opus, Bride of Frankenstein. It's an absolutely gonzo gothic horror from the dawn of the talkies featuring more thrills and excitement in one of the earliest sequels that somehow manages to end up a better movie than the original. Bride of Frankenstein is a high-energy affair packed with unbelievable characters and performances from some a-list weirdos of their era such as Ernest Thesiger as the sinister Doctor Praetorius and the lovely Elsa Lanchester playing duo roles and Mary Shelley and the iconic Bride who, despite your expectations, occupies the screen for a scant few minutes but still manages to leave a powerful mark on the history of film. There is also a deeply queer interpretation of the movie which begs the question, was this subtext intended by James Whale? Was it purely subconscious? Are we just reaching? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bring-me-the-axe/message

The smash success of Universal's 1931 Frankenstein adaptation made a sequel practically mandatory. Director James Whale felt that it'd be impossible to top the first film and was therefore reluctant to return, but the studio eventually lured him back with a juicy paycheck, a promise to greenlight one of Whale's passion projects, and nigh-total creative control over what eventually became Bride of Frankenstein. Still assuming that the gothic atmosphere and graphic scares of Frankenstein couldn't be replicated, Whale chose to go in a more campy, theatrical, and melodramatic direction with the follow-up. While the production did run overbudget, Bride did strong box office and is now considered one of the few movie sequels to surpass the quality of its predecessor. Ryan is joined by Cheryl and Sylvan for a close read of this beloved sci-fi horror comedy. Talking points include the story's approach to scientific advancement, the movie's very self-aware use of Christian allegory, and whether Bride's heavy application of queercoding was a conscious filmmaking choice by Whale (and whether or not that matters). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support
Welcome to an altogether new show here at Cinema Degneration we are calling "Without Warning." The theme for this show is unlike any other in our lineup. Hosted by Cinema Degeneration CEO Cameron Scott and his co-host, author, voiceover artist, and host of 'The Diabolical Index' Korey Dawson. The theme is simple: Scott calls Dawson out of the blue with no warning as to what the topic of conversation will be...without warning if you will. Scott will continuously test the overall skill and level of pop culture and movie expertise of Mr. Dawson with totally random topics including movies, literature, pop culture, music, art, comics and more. Dawson has absolutely no prior knowledge to these show topics and is going into the discussions totally blind. These shows are a hoot to record, and we hope as much fun for the audience to listen back to. The 6th episode show topic is on "UNIVERSAL MONSTERS". Essentially you are all in for a deep dive discussion on a multitude of films that were based on some of the classic and iconic black and white era of Hollywood Killers. Topics range from a lengthy debate on Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi and the 'Fearsome Five' cavalcade of maniacs with Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Invisible Man, and The Creature. Some of the other films covered range from Bride Of Frankenstein, The Black Cat, THEM!, The Raven, Frankenstein VS The WolfMan, plus more. Included in the festivities are various rants and segways into topics such as the Atomic Age of Horror, Vincent Price, This Island Earth, Hammer Horror, Monolith Monsters, and many more. Join us!

This week we're back to discuss what some have called the greatest horror movie of all time, and what might be the birth of queer cinema: THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. In the years following Frankenstein's success, James Whale would go on to put his campy, humorous touch on horror classics The Old Dark House and The Invisible Man before returning to create his masterpiece. Meanwhile Boris Karloff elevated from a struggling bit player to receiving top-of-the-bill status in a string of successes. Of course, no discussion would be complete without discussing the immeasurable impact Elsa Lanchester made with mere minutes of screen time as the titular Bride. With her lightning bolt updo, and a hiss inspired by protective swans, Lanchester delivered one of the most memorable monsters i Universal cannon. The sequel adds humor to the gothic horror, and goes bigger in every way: there's a larger body count, a larger cast, more elaborate sets, and even more fantastical special effects. We're joined by guest Ygraine (What a Scream Podcast) for the first half of our two-parter on Bride.

Wedding Crashers Elsa Lanchester dons the most famous beehive hairdo in movie history to walk down the aisle with Boris Karloff in The Bride of Frankenstein. Can director James Whale marry his campy sense of humor with the unused parts of Mary Shelley's darkly philosophical novel and create an even more outrageous 1935 sequel? And will the Monster finally give a piece of his mind to the madman who made him now that he's gained the ability to talk? Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob request your attendance as they discuss one of cinema's most unholy unions. Listen Now!

Yorgos Lanthimos' POOR THINGS is many things, among them a whimsical retelling of the story of Frankenstein's monster as codified in James Whale's iconic 1930s classics FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. But there's a lot of other stuff animating POOR THINGS' surface pleasures and just-below-the-surface ideas, which we parse before moving into Connections to compare these three films' depictions of playing God and twisted parent-child relationships; mad science and the mad scientists who practice it; and stylized, unnatural versions of reality as perceived by stylized, unnatural creatures. And in Your Next Picture Show we give a brief nod to two other POOR THINGS pairing possibilities, Francois Truffaut's THE WILD CHILD and Werner Herzog's THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER.

Tan larga, fecunda y variada ha sido la descendencia fílmica de Frankenstein (1931) y sus secuelas —La novia de Frankenstein (1934), El hijo de Frankenstein (1939), para sólo hablar de las protagonizadas por Boris Karloff— que, al acudir a los filmes en cuestión, lo primero que sorprende es que no se trata de obras maestras ni de productos particularmente fueles al libro escrito por Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley en los albores del romanticismo. A su manera, la trilogía es producto de multitud de factores combinados: el desenfreno de la ficción victoriana, el fervor melodramático de principios del Siglo XX, la voluntad escapista gatillada por la Gran Depresión y la insospechada consecuencia del gran éxodo de técnicos alemanes a Hollywood a fines de los años 20. Fueron estos últimos quienes llevaron consigo la sensibilidad expresionista y la fundieron con multitud de relatos fantásticos del centro de Europa, produciendo así el intoxicante mix de los "Monstruos de la Universal", mitad espanto mitad entretencion, que incluso hoy, casi cien años más tarde, continúa fascinando a espectadores que, instintivamente, abrazan la obsesión prometeica del científico loco y se conduelen del destino de su criatura, mientras se dejan atrapar por viejos trucos de experimentado narrador. Ahí radica el milagro y de eso, precisamente, se habla en este podcast.
Yorgos Lanthimos's POOR THINGS is so open in its allusions to Frankenstein — both scientist and monster — that it inspired us to stitch together our first dual pairing, of James Whale's 1931 classic, which established the on-screen language of Mary Shelley's monster, and his 1935 follow-up THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, which set up nearly a century of expectations for sequels in Hollywood. But despite many commonalities, chief among them a literally iconic Boris Karloff performance, these films are two distinct creatures, so we're dissecting them both to talk through their different tones, relationships to their source material, and legacies.

All-time great character actor Stephen Tobolowsky might be best known as Ned Ryerson from GROUNDHOG DAY, but his film and television credits number in the hundreds. His thoughtful character choices for today are appropriately iconic -- George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life and the Monster from Bride of Frankenstein. But the real highlight of this episode are Stephen's riveting storytelling and invaluable wisdom about the hidden gifts a seeming catastrophe can bring.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Stephen Tobolowsky
