Frankenstein 1931 – PLEASE NOTE, this item is a limited edition reprint.

Bride of Frankenstein 1935
The 1935 sequel to Frankenstein became a hit in its own right, and deservedly so. A new stylistic approach was just the beginning, as James Whale and his expert team told the missing part of Mary Shelley’s tale in a new and thrilling way.
Even today, the atmosphere, styling and performances in this movie weave a powerful spell for existing fans and first-time viewers alike. Authors Nige Burton and Jamie Jones explore the many ways in which Bride of Frankenstein makes for compelling viewing, from James Whale’s wry humour, to the pathos of Karloff’s Monster and the anti-chemistry with Elsa Lanchester’s portrayal of his doomed mate.
This luxury magazine guide is crammed with high quality stills, posters and lobby cards, as well as trivia, behind-the-scenes information and biographies of the cast and crew who made this movie so special. Any fan of Universal monsters, Boris Karloff or classic horror cannot afford to miss it – it’s the must-have publication for any true Bride of Frankenstein aficionado.
Classic Monsters founder, author and horror film historian Nige Burton and co-author Jamie Jones have dug deep into their crypt to unearth the compelling stories of the making of what, by many, are considered to be two of the most influential horror movies of the 20th Century. If you are a fan of the Universal classic monsters, then these unique tributes are most definitely for your collection, which will become enriched as we add future titles in the series. These are the perfect reference guides for any fans of Frankenstein, and are now available for the first time as a bundle.

Hugh Blair, County Antrim, Northern Ireland –
Your wonderful Classic Monsters collection is great and brings back many memories for me(I’m 64) I remember staying in the cinema all day watching the Hammer films when they showed them as a double and at one time a triple bill(Those were the days) There was one cinema that showed all the universal Frankenstein films all week then followed the next week with the Dracula films, Wolfman, and the Mummy films. Thanks to Blu Ray I can see almost all of these great films in their glory, And thanks to you all for bringing out this wonderful collection I now know everything about these films. I hope you will continue to add more films to your collection(I hope to get them all,if I can) My greatest actors are Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, Boris Karloff(William Henry Pratt), Peter Wilton Cushing, Vincent Leonard Price, Jr., John Christopher Depp II(Johnny Depp), Donald Pleasence, and the great Bela Ferenc Dezso Blasko, better known as- Bela Lugosi.
