The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Oct 27, 2012
I had originally planned to review the TCM/Fathom events double feature of Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein but ended up missing out on it. In the interest of time I figured best just to review the film I hadn’t already seen, The Bride of Frankenstein. I really have no good excuse read more
TCM presents FRANKENSTEIN
Once Upon a Screen Posted by Aurora on Oct 27, 2012
Word has it that Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein as the result of a dare from a friend. The friend was poet, Lord Byron and he challenged her to write a ghost story. Drawing from state of the art medical experimentation at the time, Mary, born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, wrote one of the most infl read more
Classic Films in Focus: THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 26, 2012
Although Mary Shelley's novel has been filmed many times, every adaptation of Frankenstein is unique, a point that The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) helps to prove. Director Terence Fisher's version of the Frankenstein story offers a different take than the iconic 1931 picture from James Whale; it br read more

We Belong Dead: Why FRANKENSTEIN Looked Horrific on the Big Screen
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Oct 26, 2012
I saw James Whale’s FRANKENSTEIN (1931) and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) at the AMC 25 on 42nd Street in New York City on Wednesday night. And, while the experience of seeing two beloved classics with a room full of fans was ultimately a positive one, the screening was, at the same time, immen read more
A double dose of Frankenstein (and we have tickets!).
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Oct 15, 2012
October always brings around the creepies and the crawlies and scares galore, and what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a big-screen double dose of everyone’s favorite lumbering monster? Turner Classic Movies and NCM Fathom are teaming up again to bring a double feature of the clas read more
Classic Films in Focus: SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 12, 2012
After the success of Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), it’s not really a surprise that Universal would continue the series with a third film, although Son of Frankenstein (1939) takes us forward in time to the next generation of the famously doomed family. Boris Karloff read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 11, 2012
The success of Universal's Frankenstein in 1931 quite naturally led to the studio's desire for a sequel, and in 1935 they gave the audience more of Boris Karloff's lumbering monster with The Bride of Frankenstein, which also brought back director James Whale and Colin Clive's resurrectionist doctor. read more

Classic Films in Focus: FRANKENSTEIN (1931)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 10, 2012
Let's
be clear about one thing: Frankenstein is the man, not the monster. Although
films like the 1931 Frankenstein have
irreparably muddled the original story in the public imagination, Mary
Shelley's novel, way back in 1818, was about human vanity, the perils of
scientific progress, and spectacula read more

Imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery, and parody is, at its best, imitation with a
wink and a nudge. That affectionate sense of parody permeates Young Frankenstein (1974), with Mel
Brooks and Gene Wilder demonstrating their great appreciation for James Whale's
classic movies, Frankenstein (19 read more
