Directed by James Whale • 1935 • United States
Starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive

In James Whale’s celebrated sequel to his 1931 horror classic, Mary Shelley’s monster forces his creator, Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive), to make him a mate. Horror icon Boris Karloff reprises his role as the fabled monster, Elsa Lanchester costars as both Shelley and Karloff’s outrageously coiffed lady love, and Whale pulls off one of cinema’s all-time great sequels by imbuing the macabre proceedings with a distinctively queer, camp sensibility.
