Bride of Frankenstein is not the first horror film to garner an Oscar nomination (that honor belongs to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1932), but it is easily one of the most beloved. Immediately following the conclusion of Frankenstein (1931), the sequel finds The Monster (Boris Karloff) demanding that Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) build him a companion. The result: the indelible Elsa Lanchester, with her singular shock of white-streaked hair inspired by Queen Nefertiti.

Director James Whale’s final horror film, after genre-setting triumphs such as Frankenstein and The Invisible Man (1933), Bride of Frankenstein is delirious, atmospheric entertainment that has inspired generations of filmmakers.

Bride of Frankenstein stars Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, and Elsa Lanchester. This 1935 film has a runtime of 75 minutes and is in black & white.
