Bride of Frankenstein: A Tale of Love and Addiction


Had anyone ever actually seen Bride of Frankenstein before this past Monday at Bryant Park? I fell asleep on the grass for the first twenty minutes or so, but the parts I was awake for were pretty awesome.

Here are the highlights:

  •  Lord Byron (who trills his Rs delightfully), Percy Shelley and Perce’s wife Mary chilling in their living room as the film’s prologue. 
  • Frankenstein gluts himself on booze and cigars as a rite of passage into the community of man. Seriously, he gets really into that stuff.
  • In an episode of Sex and the City the women hypothesize about men who “have their light on,” like a cab, meaning they are finally ready to settle down. Somewhere around the age of 30 a man’s light goes on and a woman quickly snatches him up. Frankenstein’s light is definitely on.
  • Bride of Frankenstein, hottie or nottie?
