Ep. 338: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Arthur is up with his horror blindspot as Shocktober 8 continues. He dives deep into the annals of Hollywood and comes back with the 1935 classic and OG sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein from James Whale and starring Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester. Picking up immediately after the events of the first film, The Bride of Frankenstein sees Victor tempted back into his dark practices and coerced into creating a mate for The Monster. Another successful hit for Universal, The Bride of Frankenstein is still recognized by many as a stronger film than the original. The gang sit around to discuss tragic monsters, the many possible readings of this film, industrialization, and much more.
