The Monster Meets His Bride | The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

[@Douglasman123]

Its amazing how the bride has gone to become such a big part of pop culture and universal monsters in general, when she actually seems to have a very small role or appearance in the main movie in general .

[@b.radleypro.369]

Such a sad meeting. It was love at first sight for him, but for her it was love at first fright.

[@mysterion3182]

Or fright at first sight for The Bride.

[@Angie2343]

Despite the Bride and the Monster never being a couple in the film (due to the Bride being scared of him), the parks often resort to the pop culture trope of characterizing them as being in a romantic relationship (as Dr. Frankenstein intended).

[@PoeDameron15]

As Owen Grady said in Jurassic World, she is seeing all this for the first time. She has no idea of who she once was, who Frankenstein and Pretorius are, and who exactly the Monster is. So of course she’s going to act like a frightened child to what she is seeing.

[@urdad7318]

Doesnt really make sense tho if you have never seen anything before you would think the first things you see are normal you would have no pass judgment on anything

[@Boogieplex]

Nothing in the script eludes to her having no memory of her previous life. If she can imediately walk, it tends to follow she has memories.

And all while the monster was striking out. Ha !

[@geraldstephens6612]

​@ShempBob That's a good one, but Elsa Lanchester was an excellent choice for playing the Bride.

[@ShempBob]

@@geraldstephens6612 no argument from me on that front. She was truly beautiful even as a monster. And her acting choices were quite unique...will stand the test of time. Not too shabby for what, approx 3 minutes of total screen time?

[@samanthanelson8232]

[@stephenmark6781]

The Bride of Frankenstein belongs to a small group of movies in which the titular character is on screen for only a few minutes but leaves an unforgettable impression (Dr. Strangelove is another). Elsa Lanchester does a brilliant job here. Her birdlike movements and reptilian hiss are particularly memorable and suggest that the Bride's higher brain centers may not have survived the "operation" fully intact.

[@vegetasolo1221]

This is straight classic

[@babyinvasion]

Certified monster classic

[@danelicker317]

Fun facts about this movie. The actress had to wear stilts to look taller because she was only 5'4". She avoided drinking water before shooting because it took too long to get her out of costume so she could use the restroom. Boris Karloff hated the idea of the Frankenstein monster being able to talk.

[@shellydesormier4646]

I do too, the audience can tell she hates him. It’s actually not hate, she’s terrified. Him voicing that made it kinda goofy instead of the sad scene that it was. 🐚🌸

[@marikkelaszlo3355]

She was in Mary poppins too

[@samuelduvall8130]

She probably liked him he just went a little fast

[@nick56677]

That's what it was. She is new to the world like a baby while Frankenstein has had a few years to adapt and learn. It should've been common sense to give her at least a few months to adapt and learn the basics first as she can't even talk yet.

[@reyybarra390]

Man, couldn't they have cleaned dude up before introducing her? She was probably hissing at him 🤣 because he looks like he stinks from wearing the same clothes for months!!!! 😆😆😆

[@ann6878]

Yeah she was like him when he was made. She probably sees the first two as her parents or at least safe as she saw them the first time she opened her eyes. She’s like a newborn when you hand them to someone they don’t know & he stank 💀

Her eerie bird-like head movements made the scene all the more disturbing and alien. Everything seemed to be too much to take in and she, well, freaked out when Karloff patted her hand. So tragic.

That's strange. Usually, the man screams during the wedding, not the woman. Whatever works, I guess. 🤭

[@janoycresva276]

Today some may think this is funny not scary but back in 1935, this was terrifying. Even now, with the old style black & white reel tape, this is super creepy still. Particularly when you learn that Elsa Lanchester herself had 2 abortions in the 1920s, one of which was botched & permanently sterilized her.

[@janoycresva276]

@@susieaxym You need to go back to school & learn to read. I literally said this was terrifying for the time & even now with the low quality black & white visuals, this is still creepy as heck. Particularly when you realize how vile of a person Elsa Lanchester was in real life.

[@stevepaul6955]

The monster survived the explosion but the bride did not.

[@ThEmAnOnAmIsSiOn100]

If you think about it, Frankenstein would eventually learn how to speak and talk over a long period of time. Being around people and hearing them speak, it would only be a matter of time before he too was able to talk like everyone else. So it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he can and would be able to talk

[@WandersNowherre]

Elsa Lanchester got the assignment, and so did Karloff. Their performances imbued the Creatures with so much pathos in the physicality alone.
