Universal Monster Double Feature: BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) and THE WOLF MAN (1941)!

from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter

This week: two all-time classics for the Halloween season. First up: James Whale, Boris Karloff and Colin Clive return for the first Universal Monster sequel, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN! Does Elsa Lanchester steal the show in an insanely low amount of screen time? Does the movie as a whole live up to its “one of the greatest ever” reputation? Next, THE WOLF MAN presents us with a different kind of leading man in Lon Chaney Jr. Does its potent mental illness metaphor offset its muddled use of Bela Lugosi? All this, plus another intermission bonus: favorite Halloween TV episodes! Intro and outro music from White Bat Audio!
