Dracula / Bride of Frankenstein
Few novels have left such a lasting impression on film history as Bram Stoker's 1897 horror tale of the Transylvanian count with an insatiable thirst for blood and beautiful women. DRACULA first graced the screen under an official banner in 1931, more out of necessity than anything else: To save his Universal Studios from bankruptcy during economically challenging times, the new head, Laemmle Jr., turned to horror – with success. However, the best of the subsequent monster movie series is undoubtedly James Whale's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, which, in addition to groundbreaking special effects and atmospheric shocks, also surprises with a touch of irony. These two films together evoke that classic sense of the uncanny, where the disturbing and the seductive intertwine.
