The Bride of Frankenstein<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n4. LOOK CLOSELY AND YOU\u2019LL NOTICE THAT THE MONSTER\u2019S WOUNDS APPEAR TO HEAL.
\n<\/span><\/strong>In the original Frankenstein\u2019s thrilling climax, the monster seems to meet its demise inside of a windmill that\u2019s caught fire. So when we first see the creature in Bride, the big brute is riddled with obvious burns. Also, a lot of his hair has obviously been singed off. For subsequent scenes, however, makeup artist Jack Pierce incrementally toned down the burns and replaced some of the hair. This created the illusion that the monster was slowly recovering from its injuries over the course of the film.<\/p>\n6. BORIS KARLOFF OBJECTED TO GIVING THE MONSTER ANY DIALOGUE.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Although the creature had been a mute in the first movie, Whale decided that the reanimated corpse ought to pick up some basic language skills during the sequel. Both Karloff and the studio disagreed quite strongly, but in the end, Whale got his way. Sara Karloff\u2014the actor\u2019s daughter\u2014explained her father\u2019s reservations in the DVD documentary She\u2019s Alive! Creating the Bride of Frankenstein. \u201cHe felt it would take away from [his performance in the original film] and I think he was wrong,\u201d she said. \u201cHistory, cinema history, has proven him wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n14. IT\u2019S NEIL GAIMAN\u2019S FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE.
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of people\u2019s favorite horror film,” said bestselling author Neil Gaiman of The Bride of Frankenstein. “Dammit, it\u2019s my favorite horror film.\u201d In the above clip, Gaiman recalls staying up late as a boy to catch both Frankenstein and its 1935 sequel in a televised double-feature. What did he think? \u201cFrankenstein was a huge disappointment to me,\u201d Gaiman admitted, but he fell in love with the atmospheric Bride and remains a fan to this day. He is especially fond of the climax, which he cites as his favorite \u201ctwo to three minutes of film, ever.\u201d Another celebrity admirer is Guillermo del Toro, who, in a 2008 conversation with Rotten Tomatoes, ranked The Bride of Frankenstein as one of his top five films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Mancini and Mental_Floss present 14 Reanimated Facts About The Bride of Frankenstein.
