Synopsis: 

This remix of FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN aims for a serious tone by removing all comedy relief, not humanizing the Monster and having a darker ending.

Intentions: 

FRANKENSTEIN is a brilliant film. Decades ahead of it’s time. Karloff portrayal of the Monster is visceral and vicious.  However the sequel BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN changed all that. they succeeded in humanizing the monster. He now emotes and has pathos. For his sins he is crucified and thrown into a dungeon. cries because he wants a friend, falls in love and has his heart broken. Add to this the comedy relief of Minnie the Housekeeper and the Burgomaster and the sequel loses it for me. So the attempt is to streamline both films together while keeping the flavor of the original.

Change List: 

– reformatted entire film to 1:85:1 and manually recomposed entire film. – Color treated entire film for a new look. – new opening title scene. – added new score to most of FRANKENSTEIN. – trimmed most scenes for pace. – Re-cut little Maria’s scene. – deleted Mary Shelly opening from BOF. Now the films just continues. – deleted most of Minnie – Housekeeper. No comedy relief. – deleted sheepherder girl rescue and Blind hermit cabin. No humanizing the creature. – As usual for my remixes… no happy ending.
