BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching!

I'm so glad that you reacted to "The Bride of Frankenstein" as well as the original Frankenstein, Cami. You should react to "The Son of Frankenstein", beyond the third film they go downhill. Please, react to "Young Frankenstein" by Mel Brooks it's a homage and parody of the first three Frankenstein films, it's very funny too.

I didn't realize till now that Elsa Lanchester played both Mary Shelley and the bride!

If you decide to watch the third instalment Son Of Frankenstien and then watch the comedy spoof Young Frankenstein, you'll love it/ Also Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien, another great comedy classic.

Karloff is great. He hosted a show not dissimilar to The Twilight Zone called Thriller. I think he probably had the best career of all these early horror actors.

Most young people don't know about this, but in the 1950s there was an early TV show that played only horor movies, and which aired once every week. The show featured a comedic reactor who went by the name Zacherley, who would often interrupt the movie by acting out a scene as if he were part of the movie, such as when someone was desperately trying to phone the police in the movie; Zacherley would suddenly appear inside a phone booth speaking into the phone, saying, "What? What's that you say, a monster is chasing you? Have you been drinking? You must have dialed this number by mistake, madam; please hang up and try again, but be sure to dial correctly next time. What? No, I cannot refund your dime."

He also would spend time introducing the movie after first showing the audience one of his recent "experiments"; his wife "dead-alive" in a coffin, which also served as his lab work table; he had a companion named Gasport of unknown appearance, who lived in a sack hanging on the wall behind him that he would occasionally speak to, the sack responding with unintelligible grumblings that only Zacherley seemed to understand.

Luckily for all of you, some footage of his show is on YouTube. The footage is very grainy B&W but worth a look.

So now you need to see The Mummy

See you in 28 hours 😀

Elsa Lanchester, the actress who plays both Mary Shelly and The Bride, was a tremendous actress who always played character roles. She was 33 years old when she played the Bride. Her career started in the silent era and extended all the way to the 80s. She was trained as a dancer as well and went to Isadora Duncan's dance school. She left the school not liking Ms. Duncan's imperious attitudes. Elsa was a remarkable human being and an extraordinary actress and gives a complete account of her life in her autobiography "Herself" in which she details her marriage to Charles Laughton, a very famous movie star and the one-time director of one of my favorite films "The Night of the Hunter".

I highly recommend GODS AND MONSTERS, a biographical movie about James Whale played by Sir Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser as his gardener showing his last days and why he walked away from Hollywood.

This is the best of the Universal Monster Movies

Beautifully Gothic, grand Rembrandt lighting. An excellent cast filled with brooding tension and laced with moments of dark comedy. A human monster who desires nothing more than to be loved. Unable to obtain it he decides to end it all. His last moment ends with tears flowing down his eyes. A horror film and a tragic romance that could never be. A classic film. Possibly the best Frankenstein film ever.

Karloff was Incredible🎉

One thing I enjoy about this film is that it was the first film at Universal's horror film department to feature an original full orchestrated score composed by Frsnz Waxman who also composed the music for Sunset Boulevard which I believe you've seen, right?

The monster did not ask to be created - he is not to blame for what he is.

An iconic role for Elsa Lanchester as the Bride. Lanchester's hair was given a Marcel wave over a wire frame to achieve the style. It was based on Nefertiti. Lanchester wore a white net dress embroidered with sequins of butterflies, stars, and moons, which the actress had heard required 17 women 12 weeks to make. She was 33 years old at the time and it is arguably the role that she is most identified with (Source: Wiki).

Elsa isn't the only one with a double role, una O'Connor, who played the screeching maid, can be seen in the intro walking the dogs. Also, it seems that when someone comes to life, someone else dies, as in the bride coming to life, when KARLOFF throws CARL OFF the tower, 😂😂😂 ❤

Probably the first *great sequel* in movie history. Loved your reaction! Happy Spooky Season 🎃

Now here's a sad bit of trivia:

Dracula (the character) appeared in 4 films.

The Mummy appeared in 5 films.

The Invisible Man appeared in 4 films and 1 Invisible Woman.

Frankenstein's Monster appeared in 7 films.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon appeared in 3 films.

But 'The Bride' one of Universal's most iconic monsters, only appears once, in this film, and for only 4 minutes screen time.

Son of Frankenstein and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein are great continuations of this. For a modern version Del Toro's recent version is really good.

The scenes with the Creature and the blind hermit are so touching and poignant that they are absolutely my favorite, but Karloff actually disliked them because he believed that the Creature should never speak.

Whenever I give in to one of my innumerable vices, I always want to quote Dr. Pretorius: "They're my ONLY weakness."

Elsa Lanchester, who played Mary Shelley and also the Bride, became for those three minutes in this movie an American cultural icon, right up there with Fay Wray, who starred in the original King Kong.

Ygor first appears in the next movie, "Son of Frankenstein." Those first three are the best Frankenstein movies.

There are also "Ghost of Frankenstein," starring Lon Chaney as the monster, and "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman," featuring Bela Lugosi (who played Dracula) as the Frankenstein Monster.

But the first three are the best.

Early one morning when I was returning from physical therapy, someone who knows me greeted me "Hey! Good morning!" and, because, back then, my stroke was still making it incredibly difficult for me to walk and to speak intelligibly, all I could manage to reply was "Aaah! Gooood!" and I couldn't help thinking "Good grief! I sound like the Creature in 'Bride of Frankenstein.'"

The actor you're wondering about is Dwight Fry. He was Refield in Dracula , Fritz in Frankenstien and here as Karl. He's also appeared in other Universal films and was a regular stage actor as well. If you do music reactions too you should check out Alice Cooper's "Ballad of Dwight Frye". It's not about Fry inparticular but is about a man who's gone insane and it's dedicated to him. Cooper is a huge fan of the old Universal monster movies.

I agree, Cami. I wouldn't want this movie filmed any other way. There is something truly beautiful about black-and-white films. The contrast, the set designs, and the acting create a nostalgic atmosphere that makes ya feel like you’re stepping into another time.

Mary and the Bride were the same actor (Elsa Lanchester) tomorrow would be her 124th birthday - she died in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, on 26 December 1986, aged 84, at the Motion Picture Hospital from bronchial pneumonia. Her body was cremated on 5 January 1987, at the Chapel of the Pines in Los Angeles and for decades it was believed that her ashes were scattered over the Pacific Ocean. In 2025, however, it was discovered that her cremated remains were instead interred by Herschel Green, her agent, at Valhalla Memorial Park under her married name, Elsa Lanchester Laughton. Scott Michaels of Dearly Departed Tours arranged a fundraiser and ceremony for the unveiling ceremony of a formal wall marker that was held on 28 October 2025, her 123rd birthday.

Great Reaction Cami! This really hits you in the guts! Because The Monster met someone who was teaching him and talking to him like a human being! But unfortunately he has all the damage to atone for!
It’s Alive always reminds of the movie My Science Project! Hope you have a chance to check out
The Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein! Little Scary Humor!
🤘🙏🏻

Between the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, the "monster" really is a tragic figure. Compare his treatment when treated with kindness rather than hate and fear. With the possible exception of Maria's parents (and that coming right on the heels of them, among others, trying to burn him to death, that's perhaps understandale), he's generally killed either by accident (Maria) or in self defense (Fritz is a good example). Yet when he meets the blind man and when he's manipulated by Pretorius he's not in the least violent against those two, or, really, against anyone without cause.

There's a lesson here.

14:57 "Aww, he really just doesn't know, like, he just...I mean, I know he's part murderer from the brain they got but...he's just very confused."

Yeah! Like he was created without being asked and thrust upon a hostile world with tendencies that are just a part of his nature then punished for his actions while his creator, who made him as such, is ultimately without blame or consequences ...

Valerie Hobson was awesome.

After "Bride of Frankenstein," the Creature will more and more becomes just a mobile prop that's just there to be scary. He ceases to be a character (though there are a few scene in "Ghost of Frankenstein" where he does get to show some personality and pathos).

Great reaction of a classic film, Cami! I had a feeling the sequence between the blind hermit and the Frankenstein monster would 'tug-at-your-heart-strings' .😢

Young Frankenstein (1974) is a great tribute to Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein.

Poor Dwight Frye. Doomed to forever get killed by the monster because he helped Frankenstein

Cami, once you go through these "Universal" classics..."The Wolfman" (193), "The Mummy" (1932) and the MANY sequels to these films (some are good...others...well......) then you must check out the 'HAMMER FILM' series. 'Hammer Films' were a British studio that began remaking all of these classic films from Universal...but in the late 1950's..with BLOOD.....and COLOR!!! Actor Peter Cushing (Star Wars:A New Hope) was Baron Frankenstein in 6 films and Christopher Lee (Saruman from "Lord of the Rings" trilogy )played Dracula in 7 films (he also played the mummy in the first of 3 films as well). Even if you don't get a chance to see all of these films in the series, at least check out...
"The Curse of Frankenstein" (1957)
"Dracula" (1958) aka "Horror of Dracula" Lee was an imposing Dracula standing 6'5" with RED eyes!
"The Mummy" (1959)
"Curse of the Werewolf" (1961) starring the 'explosive,scenery-chewing Oliver Reed!
"Phantom of the Opera" (1962)
"One Million Years B.C." (1966) a cool dinosaur flick with AWESOME Harryhausen stop motion animation!
"The Devil Rides Out" (1969) a devil worship thriller with Chris Lee.....as the HERO!!! Cool stuff!!
Many, many others!!

I was looking through your list of Universal Monster movies, and I cannot believe you left out "The Mummy" (1932). It's a classic and is one of Boris Karloff's creepiest performances

Boris Karloff has a interesting credit on his filmography: the animated classic, the narrator of How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Marvel comics' Stan Lee was inspired by the old Frankenstein movies. He always thought monster was the good guy. So he wanted his own version. But he needed a twist, which he found in another classic monster story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde. So Stan Lee created a scientist who turned into a heroic monster and called him The Incredible Hulk.

Valerie Hobson, who plays Elizabeth, was only 17 years old when this was filmed.

There is one mistake in this movie many people don't know about. In the scene at 34:07 where the monster pulls the lever and blows up the lab, you'll notice Dr Frankenstein is still seen in the lab at the left of the screen even though he and his wife had just been seen leaving out the door before that.

Cami, you keep referring to the 'monster' (Boris Karloff) as Frankenstein. Frankenstein is the doctor/scientist who created him. Glad you like this one. Now you're ready for Young Frankenstein! For laughs. - If you remember the older lady in the beginning (Millie, I think) was the barmaid/innkeeper in The Invisible Man!

Karloff, his real name was William Henry Pratt

Elsa Lanchester was married to Charles Laughton, who played "Quasimodo" in the sound version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1939). Director James Whale was a genius regarding set creation. John Carradine (one of the hunters in the hermit's house) was initially considered to portray the monster. So was Bela Lugosi. This is my favourite of the 3 Frankenstein films from the 1930s. Many thanks, Cami. I'm glad you enjoyed this classic film. Take care.

The next film is Son of Frankenstein, Karloff plays the Monster for the last time. Though he played an evil scientist in the House of Frankenstein in ‘44. Karloff played the title character in another classic monster film “The Mummy” and was very good in “The
Body Snatcher”. He narrated the Christmas classic “How the Grinch Stole Christmas “. I’ll tell you now there is no modern Frankenstein film that comes close to these classics you’ve watched. I agree that black and white was the only way to have made these films. They were masters at the lighting and use of shadows. Karloffs
“Monster “ is unmatched. Karloff was not happy that they gave the Monster
a voice but I think it worked very well especially at the end. Love your reactions, you’re very genuine in the way you react to the films. God bless
You !! 🙏🏻✝️❤️

Bride of Frankenstein is the first truly great sequel ever made

There's a movie called Gods and Monsters that talks about the final years of Frankenstein Director James Whale.

Cami there is another called Frankenstein meets the Wolfman 1943

Son of Frankenstein is great too. Its the last film where Karloff played the monster, and also the one where the bring in Bela Lugosi to play opposite him in arguably his most iconic role besides Dracula.

The "Bride" was played by the wonderful Elsa Lanchester (and a babe in her prime, as here). See her in "Witness for the Prosecution" paired with her marvelous husband Charles Laughton.

She said she didn't know how to play it so played it as a comedy.

It works anyway.

if frankenstein cant even have cigars and women, hes done with it

There are, in all, 7 movies in this run. Karloff is the monster in the first 3 then returns in a different role in a later one. THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is the high-point of that era of Universal horror.

Now you must see Young Frankenstein while these are fresh on your mind.

Cami, you have to watch "Son of Frankenstein" to find out what happened next!
You're right that you've heard the line about "gods and monsters" before, @Letstunein. It inspired "Gods and Monsters," which is a movie about James Whale, who directed this film, Frankenstein and The Invisible Man and is specifically about the making of this movie and what happened to Whale in the years afterward.
The actor you recognized -- Dr. Pretorius's murderous henchman -- was the great Dwight Frye, who played Fritz the hunchback in "Frankenstein" and Renfield in "Dracula." He also plays one of the villagers in this film.
Elsa Lanchester (who plays Mary Shelley AND the Bride of Frankenstein) and Una O'Connor (the screaming cockney servant and Mary Shelley's dog-walker at start; she also plays the innkeeper in The Invisible Man) reunited more than two decades later in the greatest courtroom thriller of all time, "Witness for the Prosecution," which also stars Lanchester's husband Charles Laughton, Marlene Dietrich and Tyrone Power.
I'm not sure why Whale cast three different actors in two roles apiece, except that his background was in the theater and that was something versatile theater troupe actors did.
(Laughton stars in what I think is the scariest of all the 1930s horror classics "The Island of Lost Souls." Laughton is one of the greatest mad scientists of all time in that one. He also directed, with a lot of input from Lanchester, the extraordinarily stylized and scary Night of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum.)
The third Frankenstein film, while not a masterpiece, is still really worth seeing: "Son of Frankenstein," partly because it provided the plot and was the main source for the spoof "Young Frankenstein" but also because it has the greatest Expressionistic look of any of the films in the series but also adds a couple of famous new characters. ("Young Frankenstein" uses elements from "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein," ""Son of Frankenstein," Ghost of Frankenstein" -- that one is TERRIBLE, don't watch it!-- and "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man," which is pretty good. But "Young Frankenstein" is MOST like "Son of Frankenstein.") A number of actors from "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein" show up in "Son of Frankenstein" as new characters.

Darling Cami, you should watch “Son of Frankenstein” before “Young Frankenstein”, because then you will be up to date and fully prepared for the GREAT Mel Brooks sendup. 🍸

Who's seen Gods and Monsters (1998)?

Mary Shelley was married to poet Shelley, and she wrote the book _Frankenstein._ It was based to one of this wealthy-people-sitting-around imagining up self-entertainments. It accidentally reveals their unconscious.

In spite of Maria’s father “Hans”, Elizabeth, and the Burgermeister getting recast, Henry’s father “Baron Frankenstein” and Henry’s best friend Victor completely disappearing, while the characters Minnie the head maid (who depending on the person will either find funny & entertaining or really annoying) and Dr. Pretorius come out of nowhere, this movie is just about perfect and one of the best sequels ever made.

You have to watch THE OLD DARK HOUSE

The second "scientist" reminds of Ernst Thesinger.

The sequel to this takes place around 25 or so years later. Now, Henry's son is doing his best to cope with his father's despised legacy. Eventualy he is bullied and blackmailed by deformed grave robber Igor, into continuing the family business against his will. Bela Lugosi steals the show as Igor. "Son Of Frankenstein"

@23:55 yes Dwight Frye is playing a different character in this movie. He played Fritz the hunchback assistant to Dr. Frankenstein who did indeed die in the previous film (the Monster hung him)

"The Son of Frankenstein" has daddy issues: he wants to diminish him by accomplishing what he couldn't. And he has more modern devices.

Like the previous film the ending was changed the last minute, the allowing for Dr. Frankenstein to live (because the studio didn’t like the ending). In fact if you closely look at the lab interior as it explodes, you can spot Dr. Frankenstein still in there, after he left.

Scenes like the one with the blind man are why this is considered not just one of the best Frankenstein movies, but probably the best Universal classic horror too. This film just elevates everything the others had been doing, and does something utterly unique with them.

Your reactions are very A L I V E ; thank you!

I wish Frankie & the blind guy.. could just lived happily as Friends

You have to watch Young Frankenstein now if you haven't already. Pure masterpiece.

The Bride (1985) is an underrated movie, imho, and sort of serves as an unofficial sequel to this one. It wasn't well received when it came out, so ymmv, but it's a movie I'm very fond of. Also, unlike this film, the titular bride is on screen for way more than a couple minutes.

There's a 1973 movie called Frankenstein: The True Story which has a different take on the main story though the ending is very similar to the book . Well worth watching.

Even in the original published novel, both the 1818 debut release and the 1831 "popular" publication, Victor Frankenstein's creation was never called anything but "the monster" or "the creature". but, supposedly, in Mary Shelley's draft notes, she referred to him as "Adam" for rather obvious reasons. 😉

Universal was known for horror movies (and Deanna Durbin musicals) but other studios also delved into the genre and made some of the best. Paramount did Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1931), Island of Lost Souls (1932) and others; RKO made Cat People (1942), The Devil and Daniel Webster (aka All that Money Can Buy (1941) and others. All the studios had a go at it from time to time.

How amazing was Elsa Lanchester as The Bride? Name me another character that had less than 5 minutes of screen time, virtually no dialogue, but whose image is a part of the culture? Easily the best of the Frankenstein films

Those little people in the glass jar they are homunculus and if you look very closely they are seven of them.
1 the King
2 the Queen
3 the Bishop
4 the devil
5 the Ballerina
6 the Mermaid
7 the baby

31:01 you gotta watch "Faust" (1926), the visuals & practical effects are off the charts, it's crazy good. 🙂

Dwight Fry plays a different character from Fritz. Ygor is in Son of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein. He's supposed to be the equivalent of Fritz. The Baron's original assistant, but they changed his name and entire personality for some reason. Even though the Universal Monster movies are sequels and relate to eachother, there wasn't alsways much continuity

Two very good horror films from that era are MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE with Bela Lugosi (1932) Its a pre-code film so some of the scene were quite sexually charged.
The other film is WHITE ZOMBIE (also 1932 and also starring Bela Lugosi) its very imaginatively directed.

Frankenstein meets the wolfman takes you back to the destroyed lab.

My favorite horror film of all-time. The rare case where the sequel is greater than its equal and Karloff giving an Oscar-calibre performance reprising his iconic role - the scenes with the blind hermit always move me - how can you not be? FYI: Today is Elsa Lanchester's birthday :D And while her presence on screen is like maybe 5 minutes it's forever engrained in pop culture zeitgeist as well as cinematic history. Glad you got to this Cami - I knew you'd love it :D xoxo. PS: Dwight Frye played both Fritz in the original (remember he's hung by the Monster after being tormented by the torch) and Karl in this film as the craven murdering assistant who again is thrown to his death (he has the dubious achievement of having been killed twice by Karloff's Creature!). Keep 'em coming (the next one SON OF FRANKENSTEIN completes the trilogy with Karloff in his final performance as The Monster and we finally meet Ygor :D )

Mary Shelley is not “just” the writer!
She is the imagination that created Frankenstein and invented the genre of science fiction with her story

Cami, the best "new" version of Frankenstein is arguably the parody film by Mel Brooks, "Young Frankenstein" from 1974! It's shot in black and white and they used the original 1931 laboratory sets and electronic doo-dads. Its also extremely funny with a great cast. As with "Airplane", you appreciate it a lot more if you've seen the original films. You've seen 2, but also could add Son of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein to the watch list as well to accomplish this.
Also, you should definitely check out Hammer Films 1958 movie called "The Curse of Frankenstein". This was the first Frankenstein film in color, that was different from the Universal films, starred Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and didn't pull the punches when it came to things like what the Baron was up to when he was away from the Lab. The color and the on-screen action shocked 1950s audiences!
Most of the Frankenstein remakes and re-dos are just not that good. The exception would be "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein" (aka Flesh For Frankenstein)-1973 which was a pretty gory and racey version that was shot in 3D! But it's definitely got kooky aspects, a weird cast, and comic overtones. There was also an "Andy Warhol's Dracula" as well, which I like even better. Both were two of the earliest horror-parody films to come out. These films featured certain celebrities in artist Andy Warhol's circle back then (such as Joe Dellasandro), referred to as "Superstars", hence the titles. These are very well produced films but are definitely kind of out there--which means, of course, you should definitely watch them!

The prologue with Mary Shelley, her husband Percy, and poet Lord Byron was necessary. Not only to give a brief recap of the first movie. But, also, to lend some realism as to how she wrote the original novel in the first place! The popular anecdote being that the three of them, plus a doctor named Polidori, were vacationing at a Swiss chalet when a storm broke out, stranding them indoors. So, to keep from getting cabin fever, they held a contest to see who could tell the scariest ghost story. The rest is literary history.

Dr. Pretorius seems to have mastered the aspect of alchemy known as homunculi (singular=homunculus). The creation of synthetic little people!

This is the best Frankenstein movie,best universal monster movie one of the greatest horror movies of all time one of the greatest sequels of all time one of the greatest films of all time with one of the best scores of all time incase you couldn't tell this my favorite movie of all time

Possibly the shortest romance in film history. They meet for the first time, and two minutes later the castle explodes!
But this is undoubtedly the 'crown jewel' of Universal monster movies! Everything about it is top notch (including the music score by Franz Waxman).
But there is no Universal Studios sequel featuring the Bride. After all…"She belong dead!"

THIS ONE IS EVEN MORE HEART BREAKING.....IT IS WHAT THE WORLD OF HATE DOES TO US ALL AND LOVE FADES INTO HATE!! SO HE TAKES HIS OWN LIFE IN THE END!!!!

Great reaction, Cami!

A similar movie from the 80s was The Reanimator and Bride of Reanimator. It was based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft. It is a pretty good movie, a bit gruesome however.

The woman who played Henry Fankenstein's fiance was only 17 at the time. The ending was reshot, originally both Henry and his fiance were killed with everyone else. There's also Frankenstein meets the wolfman, it's a good one. Bela Lugosi is the monster in that

Mary Shelley and several others were stuck in a during a storm and had a ghost story contest, hers was Frankenstein. There's some theory that she was dealing with the trauma of a recent miscarriage.

Bride of Frankenstein covers sort of the second half of the book... or maybe the middle third

Mary Shelley wrote the original story and inadvertently created an entirely new genre of storytelling. It has been hailed as the very first example of Science Fiction. Every monster movie, Space Adventure, A.I. gone wild, and story involving science just beyond that of the writer's present time, can trace its lineage back to Mary Shelley and her story of The Modern Prometheus. Godzilla, The Invisible Man, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Star Wars, The Terminator, and thousands of others all harken back to Frankenstein in some way.

Okay, the blind man is from the book. Dr. Praetorious and his tiny people isn't. The novel is very much about Frankenstein's abandonment of his creation and that creation's quest for revenge over being created and abandoned to a miserable life.

Universal Monster films are some of the most spectacular films in cinema history and some of my favs. So glad that you have been watching them and experiencing just how incredible they were for the time. 😊 You need to also need to check out the OG The Phantom of the Opera and check out some of the OG king Kong and Godzilla films and some Vincent Price films, especially The House on Haunted Hill. 😊

I can't watch this film now without thinking of Mel Brooks and Young Frankenstein!

That's how I determine if a film is a classic, if I hate to see it end!

Now that you've watched the big 3 prereqs, you're now ready for "Young Frankenstein".

Something I left out but was reminded of today… The great film, May (2002), is probably my favourite horror film of the 21st century. It is, at its core, a retelling or a reimagining of the Frankenstein story. It’s so well done, so subtle, that I forget about including it in my Frankenstein based films. May is an exceptional film, and incredibly under appreciated. Every horror fan should see it, and every reactor should react to it eventually. 🍿

After that it's Son of Frankensteiin and Ghost, I believe.

13:00 - Oh, yes, Cami. The Creature needs to eat and drink, just like any human.

22:40 - In this graveyard scene, Cami, there was supposed to be a part where the Creature goes over to the cross and looks at the figure of Jesus. He remembers how he was tied to the pole in a similar way, and he tries to free the figure of Jesus from the cross. I don't know if it was ever actually filmed or not, but it was ultimately discarded.

34:30 - In the original draft of the screenplay, Cami, Henry Frankenstein was supposed to die in the explosion, but test audiences didn't like it, and the new ending with the Creature allowing him to leave was substituted.
