Journey back to the watchtower laboratory and learn what Henry did next, with the Bride of Frankenstein 1935 Ultimate Guide New Edition. This stunning publication is an all-new reimagining of one of our earliest guides, packed with new information and a wealth of stills as well as a totally fresh design to bring it bang up to date and in line with our more recent movie guides. The Bride of Frankenstein 1935 Ultimate Guide New Edition is a must-have companion to another journey through one of classic horror cinema’s most genuinely iconic motion pictures – produced to the highest standard, with the commitment to excellence you expect from Classic Monsters, it’s another essential for your collection.

The colossal success of 1931’s Frankenstein spurred Universal on to explore the next chapter in the misadventures of the misunderstood Monster, and Bride of Frankenstein was a more than capable sequel. A raft of stellar performances, led by a returning Boris Karloff, brought a dark tale to life in style under the direction of James Whale and set the bar higher than ever for the horror genre. Our Bride of Frankenstein guide explores the new characters, bold ideas and delicious black humour, as well as the myriad creative decisions, that continue to bring fans immeasurable joy.

Such is the special place the film holds in the hearts of countless fans, our original guide to Bride of Frankenstein has been one of our most popular titles, and introduced many readers to our range of publications. As the style, content and structure of our Ultimate Guides have all evolved, it seemed only fair that one of the all-time classic horror movies was celebrated with a guide in this new format, so the Bride of Frankenstein Ultimate Guide New Edition reflects the more refined approach we now have. As you explore a wealth of information about the movie’s production, development, cultural impact and place in the Universal pantheon, you’ll discover there’s never been a Bride of Frankenstein movie magazine like it.

You’ll see immediately that this luxury film magazine is very easy on the eye, with a clean and timeless layout that allows every aspect of the content to shine. The meticulously restored stills have never looked better thanks to our commitment to including only the very best imagery. Even black and white stills are printed using a full-colour process which means that while they might be black and white, they have a depth and detail that cheaper newspaper-style monochrome printing simply can’t match. You may well spot imagery you’ve never seen before, as this Bride of Frankenstein Ultimate Guide includes plenty of stills not featured in the original version.

The production values are as high-end as you’d expect from a Classic Monsters title. This Bride of Frankenstein movie magazine is printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), and boasts a shimmering glossy cover that marks it out as a collector’s piece. The inner pages, meanwhile, have a subtle silk sheen to make the turn of every page a pleasure, and the whole guide is trimmed and finished to perfection.

A set of absorbing, professionally written articles leads you through the story of the film’s genesis, shining a spotlight on the studio politics, personal ambitions and commercial decisions that led to this watershed moment in horror film history. So much information about the film didn’t make it into the original guide back in 2016, so the Bride of Frankenstein Ultimate Guide New Edition includes new facts and details that will enrich your understanding of the film’s creation. And of course, it’s all illustrated with those glorious stills.

You’ll also learn about the people whose combined efforts resulted in a sparkling piece of movie magic. This Bride of Frankenstein movie magazine has a host of biographies that reveal the lives and careers of key cast and crew members. From stars Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson and Elsa Lanchester, through to director Whale, cinematographer John J Mescall and art director Charles D Hall, the melting pot of talent on show here is awe-inspiring.

What are you crying for? We’re all safe now, and the awful Monster has been burned to a crisp… hasn’t he? Maybe we could ask that strange Dr Pretorius, who’s been hanging around a lot lately. He says we should leave the charnel house, but it’s so comfortable in here. He seems to be holding some kind of memorial service with those hoodlums (why else would they be down here in the crypt?), so let’s find a quiet corner and read the Ultimate Guide to Bride of Frankenstein. There’s a new world of gods and monsters to discover…
