Sci Fi History: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Shortly after Frankenstein’s release, the studio began work on its sequel. The story is loosely based on a subplot in Mary Shelley’s original tome. In the book, the Monster forces Frankenstein to create a companion. In the film version, the Monster entangles himself with some grave robbers led by Dr. Pretorius who force Dr. Frankenstein back to work. Frankenstein creates a woman that rejects the Monster. A rejected Monster kills himself, his bride, and his benefactor, Dr. Pretorius.

The film won widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike. However, censors went to work cutting the film up for its violent content. Since 1935, the film has grown in renown and some consider it greater than the original. Like the Monster, the Bride has become a cultural icon and has appeared in many pop culture incarnations.
