As long as we get to watch more movies with you, I'm all for this Patreon Exclusive thing! And, Young Frankenstein (1974) also references Son of Frankenstein (1939). But, you'll still get most of the jokes with just the first two.

Congratulations Dawn Marie! You’ve watched Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein. Which puts you miles beyond all other movie reaction channels. You are now a sophisticated and cultured individual!!

So the whole thing at the beginning of the movie Dawn was alluding to the legendary night that the author, Mary Shelley conceived of the story of Frankenstein. Her novel that was published in 1818. Mary Shelley wrote the novel Frankenstein when she was 19 years old. She was married to a very famous poet, Percy Shelley. And the other refined gentleman in that scene was supposed to be renowned English poet, Lord Byron. One of the most important poets in English history. The tale goes that Mary Shelley, her husband Percy, and Lord Byron together on lavish estate on a stormy night. They challenged each other as writers to come out with the most horrifying horror story. It’s also said they were drinking much absinthe smoking of opium amongst all the writers. And in her opium dreams she dreamt of Frankenstein. There is a fictionalized depiction of these events in a film called “Gothic” (1987) Where actors portray Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron. As you saw in the beginning of this film. That whole story of the three and how Frankenstein was conceived of has become the stuff of literary legend. And now that you’ve seen both Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, another adaptation that is worth seeing. “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” (1994) This is without question the most faithful adaption of the Frankenstein story as written by Mary Shelley, brought to the screen. It is definitely worth seeing. Hard to say , because there’s so much charm to these black and white films, but the 94 version is a very strong and unflinching depiction.

Bartleby

And I nominate “The Doors” (1991) For the next Patreon exclusive!!! This would be a fun reaction to see, that’s for sure! You’d probably get people to sign up for your Patreon just to see that. LOL

Bartleby

I take it you’re not a fan. Maybe if they threw a nice little Broadway show stopper in Bride of Frankenstein, then it would be more to your liking. Do you have anything to say about the film? That is anything to say about the film that doesn’t involve Mel Brooks.

Una O'Connor (Minnie) was a character actor that appeared as the comic relief in many of the Universal movies of the era, including The Invisible Man (1931) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). As you have found she is a fan favorite!! I've always thought Bride of Frankenstein was the best of the Frankenstein monster series, and I caught you tearing up during the scene in the blind man's cabin😪 which is exactly how audiences reacted to it in 1935! This was fun, glad you enjoyed this classic film 😀

Louis Marzullo

Don't forget "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein"!

Classics Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) Betty Davis and Joan Crawford. The Invisible Man (1933) Claude Rains War of the Worlds (1953) Gene Barry The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal

Elliot Nesterman

The Bride was played by the wonderful Elsa Lanchester, who played Mary Shelley in the introduction. Elsa Lanchester was married to the great Charles Laughton. She and Laughton were in in twelve films together, the most significant of which is their last, "Witness for the Prosecution," directed by Billy Wilder.

Oh and by the way Dawn, Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man were not the original horror movies. They were more like the second wave of horror movies. The original horror films can be traced back to the silent era. Many of these silent horror film staring the great silent screen actor and legendary Lon Chaney. (The Man of a Thousand Faces) Lon Chaney is credited for revolutionizing make up effects in cinema and is still revered as a god in the make up effects world. He was a leading man actor who did his own make up for his films. His two most famous and iconic horror films being “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1923) “The Phantom of the Opera” (1925) And another classic Lon Chaney movie to see “The Unknown” (1927) Lon Chaney was among the first movie stars of the silent era. And he is the first horror movie star.

Louis Marzullo

Lon Chaney should be on Mt. Rushmore or something. Can Detective Dawn find a copy of London After Midnight?? Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari great silent horrors, too. Freaks not silent but must-watch horror

Bartleby

Yeah then there’s the silent movies of Germany that were huge and made waves. The German Expressionist movies. Definitely some silent horror classics that are essential viewings. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari Nosfeartu Faust The Golem These style of movies directly influenced the second wave of Universal horror movies, Nosferatu - Dracula The Golem - Frankenstein

Sam, please take this in the spirit it's offered-- Bride of Frankenstein will always be James Whale's masterwork, and one of my favorite of Universal's golden horror age, but more to the point, Spectrum-boy: SHUT! UP!! Give your typing fingers a well-earned rest, they've gone well and above their quota.

Bartleby

Okay Broadway Boy And still not a single real thing to say about the film you keep posting on. Calling The Bride of Frankenstein a masterwork. Whoa… Way to take stand. Not all heroes wear capes huh. Don’t worry Broadway Boy, you’ll have plenty to say once the Young Frankenstein reaction turns up. Then you can feel special.

Louis Marzullo

Eric, Sam... truce? For Dawn's sake?😁☮️

Bartleby

That’d be fine by me I’m not the one that keeps replying to other peoples posts.

Louis Marzullo

Lol ok, well you've both gotten plenty of haymakers in, Rocky & Apollo-style🥊. I think now it may be time for the "I'm willing if he's willing" approach, period, full stop🤕. And that'll be all I have to say about that!🦐🦐🦐

Bartleby

You’re right. I let myself get dragged down in the mud like some uncouth! Thanks for for the feedback. And out of respect for Dawn, I won’t respond to his replies anymore.

And just to put my own comments in a fairer context for baffled bystanders: Do a Google search on the web for red-flag signs of Autism Spectrum on social media—It’s not “dangerous”, just occasionally very, VERY annoying, and those on the more functional end are the usually the first one to spot it, but since most others are not, the warnings usually go unheeded. Most frequently recognizable signs are: 1) A need to be “the” center-stage star poster in a discussion, regardless of whose forum or thread, 2) Multi-paragraph encyclopedic rundowns of EVERYTHING the poster is pleased to know on the subject, 3) Chain responses directly on top of the other, as the poster worried hours, days, or even months later that there was something he “forgot” to tell all of us, 4) A complete psychological obliviousness to all personal complaints by others (qv. “Whaddya mean, ‘Stop talking!’, you mean you prefer Mel Brooks?”…Er, huh? 🤔) 5) A childlike schoolyard enthusiasm that if he is getting complaints, they must be the work of ONE bad meanie, that he now has a “Mortal Nemesis”, and that he can rally all his new “friends” on the forum to fight his “battle” for him. 6) Wild rage tantrums of denial and blame-shifting if the Spectrum topic is brought up, and more fantasies that his “bully” is at it again, rather than personal introspection whether the complaint might or might not be valid. This is all not “personal attack,” this is medical. Most reading this now can probably picture a similarly annoying poster on one of their own favorite forums with the exact same symptoms. And sadly—as you can see—the only way to win with Autism on Social Media is not to play. There’s a saying that it’s “Like talking to a brick wall with smiley faces painted on it. 😃” I’m only here for Dawn and the movie discussions, and if people have enough awareness and social development to KEEP it about Dawn’s future viewing, I’m happy enough to participate in a perfectly neuro-normal context.
