The financial success of the original Frankenstein movie enabled the producers to put much more money into the production than its low-budget predecessor. The laboratory is now not just barely equipped, it is overflowing with sparks, dials, and coils. The scene in which the mate is brought to life with a bolt of lightning is greatly improved over the original. Most critics consider "Bride" to be a ge ...

In the opening credits, Karloff is unbilled, a question mark being used in place of his name. He is, however, listed in the closing credits, which otherwise duplicate the credits from the opening under the principle that "A Good Cast Is Worth Repeating". As was the custom at the time, only the main cast and crew were listed in the credits. Additionally, however, a number of other actors who worked on the project were or became familiar to fans of the Universal horror films. These included Frederick Kerr as the old Baron Frankentein, H ...

Whale was best known for his work in the horror genre, making such momentous and iconic pictures as Frankenstein, where he was the first director ever to move the camera through the shot, Bride of Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man. Universal Pictures owed its stellar success in the 30s much in part to the huge box-office receipts of these three blockbusters. Further, these pictures established the screen careers of Gloria Stuart, Colin Clive, Elsa Lanchester, Boris Karloff, Una Merkel, and Claude Rains, to name just a ...

Frankenstein - Trivia. Depictions of The Monster have varied widely, from mindless killing machines (as in many of the Hammer films) to the depiction of The Monster as a kind of tragic hero (closest to the Shelley version in behavior) in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Van Helsing. Three films have depicted the genesis of the Frankenstein story in 1816: Gothic directed by Ken Russell (1986), Haunted Summer directed by Ivan Passer (1988) and Remando a ...

Celebrity appearances in Doctor Who - Footnotes. Note 1: The producers had originally planned to have The Beatles appear as elderly versions of themselves, but had to settle for using a filmclip from a BBC musical series. Reportedly, this particular variety show is one of many that were deleted, therefore making the clip seen in The Chase the only surviving footage of this Beatles performance. Note 2: Jean Marsh was at one time married to Jon Per ...

Frankenstein - Frankenstein. Mary Shelley always maintained that she derived the name "Frankenstein" from a dream-vision, but the origin of the name and what it means has been a source of speculation and critical analysis.

The creature – "my hideous progeny" – was not given a name by Mary Shelley, and is only referred to as "The Monster", "The Creature" and "Frankenstein's Monster", or as Victor Frankenstein called his creation more commonly, "the fiend."

A reference to this occurs in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and in several subsequent films in the series, as well as in film tit ...

Boris Karloff is credited simply as "Karloff", a sign that he had already become a 'brand' in 1930s horror. This credit was an improvement over the original film, in which he was listed simply as "?". Elsa Lanchester is credited for the role of Mary Shelley, but in a nod to the earlier film, the monster's bride is credited only as "?". ...

The novel opens with Captain Walton on a ship sailing north of the Arctic Circle. Walton's ship becomes ice-bound, and as he contemplates his isolation and paralysis, he spots a figure traveling across the ice on a dog sledge. This is Victor Frankenstein's creature. Soon after he sees the ill Victor Frankenstein himself, and invites him onto his boat. The narrative of Walton is a frame narrative that allows for the story of Victor to be related. At the same time, Walton's predicament is symbolically appropriate for Victor's tale of displaced ...

Science fiction author Isaac Asimov coined the term Frankenstein complex for the fear of robots. Frankenstein or Franken- is sometimes used for nuancing artificial monstruosity as in "frankenfood", a politically charged name of genetically manipulated foodstuff. In 1971, General Mills Cereals introduced "Franken Berry", a strawberry-flavored corn cereal whose mascot is a variation of the Monster from the 1931 movie. Franken Berry has also appeared in FOX's "Family Guy". In David Brin's science-fiction novel Kiln People, defective golems tha ...
