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 to1931’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.
