This month’s Sunday Afternoon Classic takes a spooky turn with the film that has been praised as Director James Whale’s masterpiece and a jewel in the crown of the classic Universal Monster movies.
In this sequel to 1931’s “Frankenstein”, the legendary Boris Karloff reprises his role as the misunderstood monster, who now longs for a companion of his own. Of course the overly ambitious Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) must oblige and creates the ill-fated bride with unforgettable hair (the luminous Elsa Lanchester).
This delirious, atmospheric film with its haunting musical score has inspired generations of filmmakers and remains a truly special experience on the big screen.
