Film summary: "There's no Whitby, there's no ship, there's no Demeter, there's no bats, there's no wolves, there's only one out of the three brides, and they whittled it down and took out a lot of the supernatural and in a way distilled it to this really, really great film and great simple story through necessity of we don't have the money for it".

Raised Questions: -Did streamlining the novel make the film better? -Should studios today make only one film at a time? -Are budget constraints sometimes a good thing? -Can you fake screen presence? -Did you spot the redressing of the same set? -Are horror films more frightening when things are more plausible? -Who will be his Bride to-night? -Why are Technicolor films the most beautiful looking films ever made? -Did Gary Oldman's Dracula (1992) accidentally leave his rollers in? -Will anyone be watching Jordan Peele's Nope in 70 years?
