The FRANKENSTEIN (1931) Scene That Foretold Three Sequels (video)




Old Baron Frankenstein toasts the upcoming marriage of his son, Henry...

...and in doing so, predicts the titles of three subsequent "Frankenstein" sequels.

"Son of Frankenstein"
"House of Frankenstein"
"Young Frankenstein"

Ten years later, a scene in "Ghost of Frankenstein" would predict the title of the very first Hammer "Frankenstein" film...

..."The Curse of Frankenstein."

Una O'Connor Totally Befuddles The Frankenstein Monster ("Bride Of Frankenstein", 1935) (video)




After surviving a lynch mob and falling through a burning mill...

...the Monster is understandably peeved and in a mood to lash out.

But then he meets Una O'Connor.

The Monster doesn't know what to make of her.

He just stands there in silent awe.

"FRANKENSTEIN" (1931): The Original Ending (video)




Director James Whale had a downbeat ending planned for his film, which included the death of Henry Frankenstein.

It would have looked something like this.

But the studio preferred a happier ending...and filmed one using stand-ins for Colin Clive (Henry) and Mae Clarke (Elizabeth).

James Whale is said to have liked the new ending, which he felt was fitting for his dark fairytale.
